back after 10 years - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

returning to truck scene after 10 year drought. owned at least 20 of this body style over the years. I recently purchased a 68 CTS LWB project. Can anyone give me an over view of what exactly the custom sport truck has over a plain jane, other than trim and buckets?

Welcome back!

For 1968 here is a Z84 trim level package
1968 chevrolet truck
Z84 CST Custom Sport Truck

Full-depth foam seat with color-keyed deluxe two-tone all-vinyl trim
Color-keyed carpeting
Embossed vinyl door trim panels with bright upper retainers
RH and LH full-depth armrest
Parking brake ratchet cover
Cigar lighter
Chevrolet name plate for dispatch box door
Cowl insluation
Full under body sprayed mastic coating
Chrome front bumper
Bright metal windshield moldings, ventipane frames. rear window molding
Control knob inserts
CST emblems
Pedal trim
horn button deluxe
Could also have the A50 bucket seats option
In short CST's had carpet floor, chrome front bumper, deluxe horn cap, And they could also have the A50 bucket seat option.
Z62 custom comfort did not have the A50 bucket seats.

In '67 bucket seats were standard with the CST package, but after '68 they could had with or without buckets.

Truck currently sits with no motor, other than that its complete. Originally had the 396. I wasnt sure if all CTS came with this option. It does have the buddy buckets and is originally gold and white, 50th anniversay? Is there such a thing as a CTS 50th?

The only way to truly tell if its a 50th is to look for the 551 paint code on the SPID. The 396 was not part of the CST package.

I believe a 6 cyl was also an option. It was possible to get a bare bones truck with the CST Option. I'll let other chime in. Also welcome back to the family.

And yes, there are 50th CST's

stroked69 · 07-16-2011, 01:22 AM

I believe it does have the 551 paint code listed. Has anyone seen anykind of production figures for the 1968 with 396, CST, 50th? To badd the they threw a rod through the block, not that i am in to numbers matching.

Stroked, On your SPID you should have 551 paint, 627 interior, Z84 cst and if it's a fleetside, B98 moulding. If so then it's a 50th.
There are some production numbers on these trucks, but none that break down by options.

67 C30, I'm going to take post #2 as a complement
