1966 Standard trim question - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Roblenzz · 06-19-2017, 06:53 PM

On my GVW tag on the kick panel says STD in the trim block. I should not have one lick of trim on this thing should I? As it is I have the "custom" Cab rear cab corners and all of the holes down the sides of the fleet body to have all of the trim and the polished front grill. This was all done by a PO right? When I do a search on Google for standard trim on a 1966 the only pictures that come up have all of the molding. What does it say in the trim block if you had all of the trim from the factory?
Thank you

Thanks for the link, it was a good read. But it doesn't mention anything about "Standard" trim. Was "Standard trim" "No trim" or was there trim that came on it as "standard." One would think that in the trim block it would say "none" or "N/A" kinda leads one to believe there was a level of standard trim.

Do you have this on the inside of the glove box?

Don't think the kick panel tag has anything to do with options added. Here's the specs on my build. Original owner was a big spender, went all out and got the deluxe heat : ) As you can see my truck is bare bones base model which would be "standard" and then you add to that with options as shown in the above post.

I believe the "STD" on the tag refers to paint. STD was normal factory colors, SPEC was special ordered colors, mainly fleet vehicles, such as schoolbus yellow or military. Exterior trim would be listed on the sticker in the glovebox, or the build sheet.

STD applies to interior specifically. Nothing to do with body paint or exterior side trim, bumper chrome, or anything. Standard meaning a vinyl seat and none of the goodies that came with the Z62 Custom Comfort option. Z62 would be stamped in that box on the trim tag if that option was ordered.

Okay thank you very much for the responses. I have the left over glue on the glove box door but unfortunately there is no paper left. That makes a lot of sense that it applied to the interior. I have lots of holes in the body that look very factory. Very cleanly punched and the original paint rolls into the holes where the trim would be. Just trying to determine whether I'm going back with trim or plain. Want to stick as close to factory as I can. Thank you again

Okay sounds great. When you take the seat apart for instance remove it from the cab, look underneath for a very old and important paper wedged between the seat springs, could tell you a lot.

Somebody removed that too. Probably still waded up in somebody's dresser as a reminder of their old truck they sold.
