Meanin of a Silverdao? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Ok I know that back in the 70's and 80's when our trucks were first coming out they had different names based on how the truck was built. I got a 1986 3/4 ton silverado LWB 4x4. What does the Silverado mean? A friend of mine had the exact same truck but it was a Scottsdall, whats the difference?

Silverado was the "loaded" package.

GMC91 · 12-14-2009, 04:29 PM

My truck aint loaded though. It has manual locks, manual windows and a none tilt steering.

jchav62 · 12-14-2009, 04:40 PM

It's more of the "trim package". All the side trim and the tailgate band and all that jazz.

3r!c84 · 12-14-2009, 04:51 PM

mines fully loaded. power locks and windows.ac.tilt. sliding rearwindow.carpet.

GMC91 · 12-14-2009, 06:14 PM

Mine is a fully striped model then, the title says its an 86 3/4 ton Silverado C20. Now keep in mind that the truck is four wheel drive. Isnt that a bit odd? I thought all 4x4s were a K series not C. It has no trim, no badges, no nothing.

jchav62 · 12-14-2009, 06:31 PM

C = 2wd, K = 4wd.

Something's fishy with your truck. Does the title match the VIN? Maybe someone changed the numbers? Weird...

**old Rusty C10** · 12-14-2009, 06:33 PM

someone prolly patched together a truck and used the vin they had w ith a good body or a good frame

Patriot · 12-14-2009, 06:33 PM

My 82 Silverado 4X4 is fully loaded.

GMC91 · 12-14-2009, 06:59 PM

The title VIN matches the one in the glove box, sounds like someone swapped the cab?

Gemp · 12-14-2009, 07:07 PM

What about the dash vin tag?

GMC91 · 12-14-2009, 07:09 PM

I couldnt see it, my cab is off the truck in the back covered with a lot of tarp.
