Custom 10 or Cheyenne 10? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

*Piston* · 04-07-2003, 05:02 PM

I'm wondering what the difference is or how to tell what the original style was on a truck of mine.

I have a 71 with the same packages and options as my 72 but one is a cheyenne and the other is a Custom 10 / Deluxe but it looks like someone has added the deluxe label because its not straight.

how would one tell what teh differences are? I hate to just slap a Cheyenne emblem on there if it is not truely a cheyenne.

If it still has the glove box info, is should list Cheyenne as an option. Otherwise, the Cheyenne should have wood grain door panels and cargo lamp (I think anyway). The most obvious would be the headliner. A Cheyenne cab will have oval holes punched in the inner ceiling metal to be used when mounting the chrome strip that holds the headliner in. A Custom Deluxe did not have the headliner.

Thanks for the info, It looks like by the time im done with my modifications it will be a cheyenne. I've added all the interior options I can find.

at this point the only thing I didnt include was the cargo light. I took the light assembly down there with me but just didnt have it in my to cut the cab open for a light lol.

Hope to be driving it back home on Easter weekend though.
