1976 Scottsdale 20 1/2 ton? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

So I bought this truck but I got myself confused. It is a '76 C10 1/2 ton with RPO Z62 Scottsdale and RPO F44 Heavy Duty Chassis. F44 gives it a 6,200 GVWR as a 1/2 ton which is basically the same as a C20 of that year, minus C20 equipment. The badges that came with the truck say "Scottsdale 20" but it definitely not a C20, so is this a) wrong badges or b) Chevy nomenclature/badging games? Also, why wouldn't it have gotten the "Big 10" package name?

None of this really matters, just satisfying my curiosity. If I keep the truck, it will get short-bedded and lowered with sport mirrors and different wheels of course.
