CST or Custom - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

When I washing my truck yesterday, I noticed two little bumps on both doors from where a CST or Custom badge used to be. Is there any way to tell which one was on there?

Ok, would it say anything if it was just a Custom?

Raymo · 06-30-2009, 08:21 PM

I've got one, and mine says it on the glove box door: Option No. 4Z84XL CUSTOM SPORT TRUCK.

ChevLoRay · 06-30-2009, 08:25 PM

I think that there is a communication issue here. The SPID, on the inside of the glove box door, will have printed data that says it is a Custom Comfort and Appearance group, or it will be a Custom Sport Truck option. With the CST option, you'll also have the Custom Comfort and Appearance group as part of the CST option.

The other indicator is on the outside of the glove box door. The C-10/Custom will have it indicated on the lower right side of the front of the glove box door, as well as on each front fender.

mine doesnt say anything about custom comfort or appearance group, and cst option and custom sport truck option are the same thing, and if its just a reg custom 10,20,30 it wont say anything on the spid.

My guess is.......if there is indication of two holes (about 4" apart) then the "CST" badge and if three holes (about 3 1/2" apart) then the "Custom" script.

Mayo · 07-01-2009, 07:01 PM

There is only two holes, probably about 4 inches apart. I was looking in LMC, and in 67 and 68, there were badges that looked the same size and one said Custom and the other said CST. I didn't see anything about Custom Sport truck on my SPID, but it said Custom C&C Equip. Does that just mean its a regular Custom?

I believe the c&c was "comfort and convienence" equipment. It was usually things like a dome light,clock,glove box light and lock,etc. Little things of this nature. Different vehicles and years may have had different things included in the option. I'm sure if you find some factory literature such as a dealer broshure it will tell you exactly what was included.

1968 Custom Comfort and Appearance Option, Z62, offers full depth foam seat cushion with woven fabric center panels, full-depth arm rests, padded visor on passenger side, cigar lighter, vinyl trim on doors with bright top retainer, cowl insulation and underbody coating. It also includes bright grill and headlight moldings, vent windows, parking brake cover, bright windshield moldings, rear window moldings, control knob inserts and "Custom" nameplate on the door. Also bright trim around hood and leading edge of fenders and Chevrolet nameplate on dispatch door.

The brochure states there is Custom Appearance Option and a Custom Comfort and Convenience Option but the GM Restoration Guide lists only Z62 as Custom Comfort and Appearance Option.

Appearance was the all the bright work, nameplate, inserts on the knobs, color coded vinyl floor mats whereas the Comfort was the seat, arm rests, insulation, door panels, visor, cigar lighter, undercoating. Neither option lists the brake cover but it is listed in the combination option Z62 so who knows...LHM probably!

I think if the side window frame is chrome it is a CST

Mayo · 07-02-2009, 11:08 PM

Thanks for you help guys. It seems it is probably just a Custom. I wish I cold have seen the truck when it was stock. Also, on the SPID, it says it has a "Camper Nameplate." What does that mean?

**John Fabris** · 07-02-2009, 11:08 PM

Your truck would be a Custom (based on what your spid says).

I believe the camper name plate in 68 was the rectangle on the fender reading "custom camper."

'68 bright window trim was Custom Appearance option but it also came with the CST option. '68 Custom Camper nameplate below.

I'm not sure about years but, I Know there was/is a "Custom Camper" script on the door above the handle.

prairewolf · 07-03-2009, 06:07 AM

.....speaking of Custum Campers, where is my 50 bucks?, lol.

Mayo · 07-03-2009, 11:01 AM

Thanks for your help guys. The Custom Camper badge is cool looking. I am sure they are expensive though.
