If it's a '72 Sierra Grande the right emblem would have that on it and it would have, or used to have, a big script emblem near the rear of the bedside. The way to know if it's a real sierra grande is on the SPID, or option list, on the glovebox door it will be listed as RPO YE9. The emblem on there now is for a standard level truck with V8

The GMC1500V8 might be a Canadian version?

So, does this truck now have the big script Sierra Grande emblems on the bedsides? Many are gone after a repaint. On your SPID it may say Sierra Grande with the Z84 code, which will actually be a Sierra. There are other ways to tell, but let's start with these answers. You original seat, if it is still there, will be herringbone

The ye9 code is what you go off of. Cheyenne super and sierra grande are basically the same thing. Quite common to see cheyenne super on a gmc glovebox door. Sounds like you have a sierra grande truck.

Looks like the one fender badge was replaces (or whole fender) and you have a true Sierra Grande. They did a few funny things on description, but the code tells the truth. My Sierra (Z84) says Sierra Grande. My '71 Cheyenne with a 402 said Custom Sport Truck with 396. Still has Z84 code, only the name changed...or not

My 72 Sierra Grande has Cheyenne Super on the glove box sticker but it is a true Sierra Grande and also has the Sierra Grande emblem on the glove box.I bought it in 80 from the original owner.I have never understood why the blue trim on the glove box never matched the blue on the rest of the truck though. Its a darker blue not the Hawiian Blue I think the rest of the truck is called.
