70 jimmy question

[RLONG]

I just bought a 70 jimmy and the transfer case shifter is chrome i know in a k-5 this ment it was a cst what was it in a jimmy it has a/c and lower chrome moldings any one know what it is

[vtblazer]

So this is #2 K5?

Didn't the jimmy have a CST package as well?

[RLONG]

The glove box has custom on it never saw a cst jimmy maybe so the trucks were sierra and sierra garande as the best

The emblem above the door handle says it all, CUSTOM. No CST but just custom.

[70gmcjimmy]

My'70 Jimmy has the "Custom" script above the door handle, and on the outside of the glovebox door as well as
"Custom Sport Truck" (CST)on the SPID lable. When you say "Custom" on the glovebox door I assume you mean the outer emblem. Look at the lable inside the door.

I will take that as a doubtful answer and your right, it does not say "CST"
It says "Custom Sport Truck". I put CST in my comment in case he didn't know what the initals meant. Thats why they were in parenthesis.

Here is a pic.

That's a pretty well optioned truck you have there, what's the dual horn??

All that means is it has 2 horns that have different pitches so I guess it sounds more "harmonious".

RLONG- I'm not trying to hijack your thread, just showing you that the "CST"
option was available in 1970 on Jimmys. I don't get to post very often but read here as much as possible. More pics of your Jimmy would be cool. It looks like a fun ride!

Sorry 'bout that, not in disbelief, I was referring to it more like "the plot thickens" kinda way.

Thanks for the pic though.

Thanks for the input i just have never seen a gmc with cst on the door like the chevy i guess this a custom by the door and out side glove box having custom. The paper option list on the inside is long gone but it does have 373 gear 350/350 tran chrome transfer case shifter factory air thanks again

[Gary 70 Jimmy]

[RLONG]

[RLONG]

Gee-- I get it now-LOL. No apology necessary, just thought I better clarify what I meant there. Thanks for the input. It is always fun reading the discoveries and little known info you guys come up with here.

I have never seen CST badged on the outside on a Jimmy either. I can count on one hand how many first gen Jimmys I have seen in the last 35 years in this area, so it doesn't qualify me to say GMC never badged any that way.
There is a member here that makes extremely accurate spid label reproductions, if you would like go get one, but I can't remember his user name. I'm sure someone will know who I mean. His prices were cheap too!

Here is a pic of my glovebox door. It says GMC in that silver rectangle. It has faded badly. Do you know the original colors on that part?
By the way, your Blazer is sweet too!

"Custom" is the GMC equivalent of "CST" for Chevy. In other words, a "Custom" Jimmy would have the Custom Sport Truck option on the spid. Since the Jimmy and Blazer are both GM vehicles.

You're glove box badge looks pretty much like new. That's the color they were. And yes the chevy cst and gmc custom are the same thing. Custom package came with side stips with wood grain insets, carpets, different seat covers, and chrome sticks. And if I remember right chrome bumpers. Your truck looks real nice. And welcome to the world of Jimmys & Blazers.

[old man jimmy]

Sorry, just noticed I'm posting to two different guys. But I guess you can figure it ou. See Ya.

[Yukon Jack]

Definitely want to see more pics of your truck RLONG.

Thanks for that info on colors. It just seems that at one time the "GMC" on that badge showed up better than it does now. I guess I gotta consider my eyes are also 37 years older!

Thanks guys 70 JIMMY your glove box emblem is the same as i have. So for as what i have seen the custom GMC jimmy was the same as the CST blazer chevy. I was raised around a lot of these trucks my dad pipelined so i saw a lot of 69-72 trucks i did see dads 72 sierra grande which in the truck was same as chyanne super CHEVY but the blazers never sa a sierra grande or sierra jus plain and custom.
