Whats the difference?

*Gee_Emm* · 08-28-2002, 11:26 PM

Didnt CST start in 69? I may be mistaken but I think it did

Im tired

mikep · 08-28-2002, 11:29 PM

Since I had a choice between CST and Custom door insignia for my 68 when I threw down my money today I am going under the assumption that CST was a 68 option as well.

**ThreeQuarter** · 08-28-2002, 11:36 PM

Yeah, CST could be had in '68. Just ask toms68cst!

*Gee_Emm* · 08-28-2002, 11:39 PM

Yah I had a picture of those door badges in my mind when I wrote that, duh me :p

Well anyways back to the original question, Custom is a step below CST.

mikep · 08-28-2002, 11:43 PM

So what was included in the CST option?

well I can say they did make a CST in 68 as I have one

But as to what the diffrence is I really cant tell you.

Here are my options listed on my GB door though if it might help.

Are CST's all short wheel based? My option sheet isnt much different than yours other than the engine, colors, and yours has a tach.

toms68cst · 08-29-2002, 09:00 AM

Since you asked! (Now this is from the top of my head now.)

The difference between a CST and Custom 68 is:

Deluxe vinyl bench seat, Carpet, Chrome pedal inserts and chrome bumper.

Otherwise a CST had all the other Custom options.

toms68cst · 08-29-2002, 09:02 AM

CST could be ordered in either WB Usually fleets. It doen't say that step sides COULDN'T get the CST option I've never seen one though.

I have seen a few CAB/Chassis CST's

toms68cst · 08-29-2002, 09:06 AM

The 67 CST package included buckets where as 68's did not.

(Am I talking to myself?)

I have a 68 CST. It's a fleetside long bed. I too, have gotten a little confused when I see my door emblems or glove box emblem listed as a different year.
