Is it only a Sierra Grande if it says Sierra Grande on the
SPID, or can it be one somehow stated otherwise ? Mine
has all the tagging, but doesn't state it on the SPID. States
Cheyenne Super Sport and things like that on a TCE142S VIN,
but doesn't say Sierra Grande. I am curious.

It comes down to the code,not the description. If it says Z84 it's a GMC Sierra/Chevy Cheyenne and YE9 was a Sierra Grande/Cheyenne Super (in '72). The late 69-71s were an option on top of the Custom or Super Custom trim level. That's why those trucks have both listed.

EDIT: I have learned that the Sierra and Sierra Grandes until late '71 were an option "on top" of the Custom and Super Custom trim level and not their own trim level. That is why you see fender badges that don't say Sierra or Sierra grande and glovebox doors that say Custom.You only got the bedside badge.
