Post '71 Cheyenne or CST???

Hi,
I looked at a 71 SWB Cheyenne (so I thought) today. It had the Cheyenne paint scheme - but when I checked the option list in the glovebox - no mention of Cheyenne. I did find the Custom Sport Truck package option - the number was 1Z84CH. Not sure what that all included.
Does it make it a 71 CST or a 71 Cheyenne??

Lots of options, but came with a 350 and 3 on the tree. Disk brakes (no booster) and air.

Anyhow - I am interested in buying this truck and would appreciate any help from the board on the identification.

Thanks!

Thanks for the reply.

Shouldn't the option package say Cheyenne?

I know the Cheyenne pkg replaced the CST that year, perhaps it was an early model 71.

Sounds legit though/

It is the top of the line option package.
This is directly out of the G.M. restoration catalog, which is a reprint of the option books used when these trucks were new.
Depending on what year, there was a few things that chainged, but this is the '69 CST option package;
Available on Chassis cab, and pickup models only. Includes full depth foam seat with delux vynal trim, carpeting, special insulation, Chromed front bumper, CST emblems, door trim panels, cigar lighter, headliner,bright side marker reflectors, cargo lamp, bright control knobs and pedal trim, rear/front window bright trim and bright wing vent trim.
Fleet side pick ups also got body side lower trim, bright fuller cap, and special simulated wood-grained paneling on the tailgate.
Going though the other year
Total price....$190...sugested retail price, 204.45.

You know, this weekend I discovered Longhorn_jeff_69's CST '69 Longhorn doesn't have one either...I wonder if this is an early production thing or what. ('69 was the first year for the cargo light)

Maybe I missed it but the Chevy Trucks from 67-72 are known as the Custom Sports Truck era. Hence CST. My 70Ccst did not have a gig. lighter...but it will soon.
Also look on GMCPAULS Web sight under "67-72 are the Hottest Truck" and Paul has a great article on these trucks from I believe Classic Trucks Magazine. Simple stated these trucks have matched the icon status of the Tri Five trucks. Now you know the rest of the story. HEHEHE

Trucks had CST option from 67-70 then replaced it with the Cheyenne for 71-72. Blazers used the CST from 69-72.

71Chev, does your fender say CST on it? most of the Cheyenes say CST on the glove box.
the only place I have ever heard these rigs called CST trucks, is on these boards. Calling a base model truck a CST would be misleading since it would not have the CST option package.

The Z-84 Custom Sport Truck option was available every year. The Cheyenne Super Trim Package which did not necassarily net the Z-84 option was just the highest interior trim option that was begun to be offered in 1971.

I'm still confused. You could get a 71-72 truck with a CST package, but no outside markings or just cheyenne markings ?????
My 72 Blazer with CST badges has Cheyennne listed on the glove box. I'll look the option code up when I get home, but what is going on there?

My understanding of it is - 71-72 Trucks were always badged as Cheyennes even though the glove box build sheet may still read "CST" (especially in 71). Blazers were badged as CST's in all the years even though it may read "Cheyenne" on a 72 glove box. (I'm guessing as mentioned by Dan72CST) Burbs were not available as either "CST" or "Cheyenne". "Custom" was the highest trim level for them.
Yes it is confusing!

Trucks usually had the option number Z84 in 71 if it was a Cheyenne. It may or may not be listed as Custom Sport truck on the glove box sticker. It could also be listed as Cheyenne Equipped and still have the option number Z84. And have Cheyenne emblems on the fender.

YE9 was the option number for the Cheyenne Super or Sierra Grande. Still I have seen GMC trucks with the YE9 option number and Cheyenne Super listed in the glove box of a GMC. A Chev should have the Cheyenne and the Super emblem on the fender. A GMC would have the Sierra Grande Emblem Script on the rear of the box... if it was ordered with a Pickup Box.

Blazers may have the option of Z84 on the glove box, the glove box labelled as Cheyenne Equipped and have CST door emblem.
