C14 ??? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**Phuloi68** · 12-19-2009, 01:36 AM

My neighbor just bought a 1983 Cheyenne truck.
On the title it is called a C14. I know what c10, c20, k10 etc means but not the C14. The truck looks to me like it is put together with stuff from various years. It was a diesel and now is a gas motor.
Don't know if it being a diesel originally is why the C14.
I started looking around to find what it meant then I thought, Heck, I can find out on this site......

mine's a diesel and it says C10 on the title so that's out...

Typo...it happens. The wrong VIN number was put on the title to my wifes truck and we had to get that changed.

I see this post shows moved.
I have scrolled thru the different forums and don't see it. It's possible I overlooked it but I am curious about why it was moved. Seems like a general question to me.

the reason it was moved ( not by me but wherever you posted it originally) was prolly because the truck involved is a 1983 model. It belongs here so you wont have to chase it again...
Im seconding the typo UNLESS the vehicle has a state issued vin because it was put together from several trucks and was issued a vin that way and the original builder decided to try and call it his own version.

**Phuloi68** · 12-19-2009, 05:25 PM

this is the forum I posted it to. It shows moved. I have pretty much scrolled thru all the other forums and cannot find it. Don't know where it got moved to. I may have over looked it somewhere but I am puzzled. (not hard to do anymore)

that one i cannot explain then.. unless another moderator or staff member moved it thinking they were on a different section and then moved it here ..It shows like it was originally posted here for me so it may be some kind of computer issue that i have no clue about..
In any event your post is good and here and if anyone else has an answer for you hopefully we can unravel this mystery

Cheyenne was a VERY rare interior option in 83. might have somehting to do w/ that. heavy half? i have no idea. can we see the option sheet from the glove compartment?

Pyrotechnic · 12-19-2009, 07:00 PM

I have a feeling it is just a typo. The person who did the title was probably hung over that morning.

Sorry to resurrect this thread but I just bought a 65 Chevy C10 and the title and VIN says that it's a C14. Has anybody come across any information on this?

Thanks.

"14" is the VIN coding for a 1/2 ton series shortbox pickup.

It does not indicate the truck is a "C14" series, like a "C60". Although unfortunately similar looking they are unrelated.

I could be wrong but I thought 81 was the last year for Cheyenne until the 88-98 generation.

You guys are correct: no Cheyenne option in 1983

Custom Deluxe/Sierra = base
Scottsdale/High Sierra = RPO Z62
Silverado/ Sierra Classic = YE9
