Sierra Custom Package? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

71super402 · 04-08-2020, 12:59 PM

Hi all, I have a 70 GMC 1/2 ton long bed with a Sierra Custom package and I cannot find anything on this particular package. I see Super Custom, Custom and Sierra packages but haven't been able to find the Sierra Custom info. It's an all white truck with black bottom exterior molding (no molding above) with green glove box, green dash pad and green instrument cluster, green visors,green scrolled vinyl with wood door panels and green scrolled vinyl with cloth bench seat, but the metal parts of the interior (beyond the glove box door) are all the exterior white color. It did not come with a headliner.

I am trying to get more info on this package as I need to replace the seat cover and I'd like to find a replacement that is NOS, or a copy of the original. The cloth part of the seat does not look like the hounds tooth on the Chevy Cheyenne package.

Thanks for the help!

I don't think the Sierra Custom package was an option for 67-72 Trucks

It actually lists "Sierra Custom Package" in the glove box option list.

Interesting ... Is this the original glove box?

Even though it says it ... I think it is incorrect....

Google

"The Chevrolet Silverado, and its mechanically identical counterpart the GMC Sierra, are a series of full-size and heavy-duty pickup trucks manufactured by General Motors and introduced in 1998 as the successor to the long-running Chevrolet C/K line"

71super402 · 04-08-2020, 03:16 PM

It is the original glove box.

71super402 · 04-08-2020, 03:19 PM

In the glove box it lists the option as Z16

**special-K** · 04-08-2020, 05:42 PM

Ok, you have an early Sierra. That's why no headliner. The deal is, prior to '71 Sierra was not it's own group, but an addition to the Custom and Super Custom trim level. Kind of like how Highlander was not it's own trim level, but added to Custom Deluxe. The cloth insert material you need is the lacey, as I call it, nylon fabric that came in 69/70 mid-level (Custom) and 71/72 mid-level trim (Custom Deluxe/Super Custom).

Are your pictures on your computer? If so, hit "Go Advanced" in your post at the bottom right. Scroll down to "Manage Attachments", click. Hit browse when the window comes up, then you will be taken to your folders. One do one or two pictures at a time. You can do all five in one post, but one or two at a time.

Did you try SMS?

71super402 · 04-08-2020, 05:50 PM

Thanks for the info Special-K! I will try to attach pics. 69Tom, I will take a look.

71super402 · 04-08-2020, 05:53 PM

Thanks Special-K pics added to original post.

**special-K** · 04-08-2020, 06:25 PM

I haven't tried but I believe people are finding this cloth at SMS. I could be wrong.

Plus they have 19% off right now if you mention it when ordering.

71super402 · 04-08-2020, 06:57 PM

Thanks for the help it looks like SMS has the green material I need and I have inquired. Much appreciated!

**Joesjunk** · 04-08-2020, 07:29 PM

CARSinc has the seat cover you need at a much better price. I just got a blue one from them

I was under the impression the GMC fabric is different from the Chevy fabric, but maybe not? If not, yeah, definitely go CarsInc.

Thanks for the heads up to this company Joe. Seat covers cut down on labor costs. CARSinc needs to post more photos of their available covers!

**jocko** · 04-08-2020, 10:31 PM

If you buy the Custom Deluxe trim level olive seat cover for a Chev, you will have the correct cover.

**70cst** · 04-09-2020, 09:12 AM

This was a very good thread...

I never heard of the Sierra Custom Package... Just goes to show there is always something new just around the bend.

**70cst** · 04-09-2020, 11:17 AM

71super402

Thanks for this question

Our trucks are always a learning process.

71super402 · 04-09-2020, 02:46 PM

70cst, yeah it was a bit confusing for sure but I guess GM did a lot of this not only with trucks but cars too (tailoring packages to the initial buyer).

factorystock · 04-12-2020, 01:27 PM

Assembly plants weren't always on the same page when it came to listing the option descriptions on spids. We have seen Z62 described as custom group or custom deluxe equip. Z 81 as camper nameplate or special camper. N 40 power steering as hydraulic steering. Z 17 has been listed as sierra grande truck or sierra grande custom. The option code Z 16 would be more important than the description.

**MusicMan70** · 04-09-2020, 04:23 PM

That's pretty unique that one hasn't turned up before now.
So how is it badged?
Sierra emblem on side of box and Custom script under side windows?
Would you post some more photos? Thanks

**allchevy58** · 04-09-2020, 10:53 PM

SMS Auto Fabrics should have your vinyl and cloth. They can emboss the center vinyl too. You can request samples. I ordered mine from them and then had a shop in town do my seat.

**Steeveedee** · 04-09-2020, 11:16 PM

Nice! I'm going to have to do the seat in my truck, but I'm leaning towards parchment instead of the factory SPID black, given the difference in butt and leg blisters, here in the California sun.

Pending approval from the female spousal unit, there is a chunk of foam with a towel over it.
