'Steel Tilt' refers to the steel tilt cab that was shared by Chevy and GMC from 1960 to 1980. These low cab forward trucks were built in both medium and heavy duty versions, even some tandem axle versions powered by 6V71 Detroits. The heavy duty and diesel versions were dropped after 1975 (though a few may have been built later for auto transporter service).

Post #1192 shows a good example.
