1967, How to determine a CST vs Custom? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**SoCoC10** · 02-27-2016, 09:22 AM

I bought a 67 C10 that is missing it's SPID. It has lots of trim that makes me think it could've a CST or Custom(trim around the windshield, around the panoramic back glass, chrome side mouldings, tailgate and grill mouldings and chrome front bumper). Unfortunately there is a repoped cluster, a newer colum in it as well as a newer seat(seats got to go!).

It has a CST horn button and the previous owner gave me both CST and Custom door badges. What else would determine it a Custom vs CST? Glove box emblem? Heater controls are black. Would they be chrome if it were CST?

Thanks for the input.

screw holes on the back cab wall where the buddy seat bracket would attach. if none it's a custom cab. if present it would likely be cst but not guaranteed. the other things you mentioned came in both. that's all i got...

oh and nice truck!!

1968aj · 02-27-2016, 10:51 AM

my 1968 has custom badges on doors. the spid has cst

**68bowtie** · 02-27-2016, 11:30 AM

correction: i just remembered in 67 if you ordered bucket seats you couldn't get a custom cab, you automatically upgraded to cst.

This is correct. All 67 cst trucks had bucket seats and they were not listed on the spid. This changed in 68.

67swb72klb · 02-27-2016, 12:18 PM

Yes it would have the screw holes for the fuel tank cover

**SoCoC10** · 02-27-2016, 01:08 PM

Thanks guys. I'll look for the Buddie Bucket bolt holes and tank cover holes. Here is point of confusion one.

**Classic Heartbeat** · 02-27-2016, 01:44 PM

The best way to check is for the screw holes 68 bowtie mentioned. If it's a CST it will have them if the bracket was removed. The horn button you show was use in both "Custom" and "CST" trim levels. WES

nice looking truck -- seems like you have a nose for finding original paint trucks

**SoCoC10** · 03-01-2016, 12:48 AM

Took out the 60/40 seat the truck came with and found no holes on the back wall guys.

**SoCoC10** · 03-01-2016, 12:53 AM

Gainsb. I do like original paint trucks. Here's another one I couldn't pass up. Gotta run the #s but it's a 283 or 327 with a 4 speed on the floor. Blue on blue with all its original panels and paint.

wow very nice. i'd love to see more pics of this one.

Girlfriend has a Nissan Leaf so she refuses to go to gas stations. My best friend likes to take rides in the 67' C10 Custom.

In 67 buddy bucket seats were standard equipment with the CST trim package and a bench seat was an option for CST trim level. In 68 the bench seat because standard equipment on CST trim level and buddy buckets were now the optional equipment. If your 67 has the original seat that has not been recovered then I would imagine it would still have the build sheet stuffed inbetween the foam and springs, if your feeling up to it you can pull the bench out and fish the paper/pieces of the paper out and make out what options your truck had/has, on that paper it should say either "custom sport truck" or I believe "custom cab EQ". nice looking 67! Like that factory blue, don't see many original paint 67-68's with that darker blue

**SoCoC10** · 04-14-2016, 08:48 AM

Unfortunately the original seat is gone along with the SPID. Truck came with the correct steering wheel and horn button as well as a teal steering wheel and CST horn button. Here's how it looked when I bought it.

**SoCoC10** · 04-14-2016, 08:59 AM

Here's how it looks after a little "de cluttering" of the dash, a much better condition and new to the truck seat. I'm installing a smaller diameter black "Forever Sharp" steering wheel(bought from a forum member), going to do a little cleaning and I'll be done on the inside. That is if I can find some blue arm rests?

**SoCoC10** · 08-26-2016, 09:40 AM

"Forever Sharp" steering wheel installed.
