What was the difference between the C-10, CST 10, and Custom 10 designation on 69 chevy trucks?
Thanx in advance

Isn't C10=Custom 10??

I thought CST 10 was custom 10?

I think CST is Custom Sport Truck, and C and Custom are the same.

The number denoted tonnage. 10 = 1/2 ton, 20=3/4 ton, and 30=1 ton, unless you're a GMC then it's 1500, 2500, and 3500.

C/10 and Custom/10 are the same. C/10 is badging used in 69-70, Custom/10 is 71/72 badging. Just the series # was used in 67/68

Cheyenne and CST are synonimous, again CST being 67/70, Cheyenne being 71/72.

Basically you're talking levels of trim, CST (Cheyenne Super )being the highest level. Trim consists of vinyl options/inserts/scrolling, bright trim work on knobs and around glass, headliners, and special insulation, etc. In 67 you did get bucket seats too.

There is a mid-line trim level that falls in between Custom and Cheyenne. In 71/72, it was called "Custom Deluxe", in 67/70 it was called "Custom". So a 67-70 C/10 Custom is not the same truck as a 71/72 Custom/10. Confused yet?

None of these trim levels ever got you a special powertrain and or PS, PB, A/C, etc. These were all separate RPO's from the trim level RPO.

It's been a long time since I have seen the emblems on my truck, but I was sure that they read 910. Could this be right. Also since mine is now a 1 ton what should the emblems be for it ('68 GMC).

910 920 930 etc are designations for Canadian GMC trucks. 910 being 1/2 ton, 920 3/4 ton 930 1 ton. Good luck finding some 930 emblems

I posted a thread like this a long time ago but it had to do with C/20, Custom/20, and CST/20. I think my truck originally had Custom/20 emblems but I think the regular C/20 emblems look better so that's what I went with. Now I have almost 8 of the C/20 emblems.

Thanks for the help. I have been trying to find some 930 emblems with no luck yet. I think that I am going to put the 910 ones on and go with them until some suitable ones. Any one out there with the right ones, that they are willing to separate with.

shifty · 03-08-2005, 08:55 PM

K= 4x4
