Title: how to identify the trim model of my truck?
Post by: oscars84 on August 18, 2013, 02:25:50 am
Hi I am going to fully restore my 84 c10 back to its original stage. Is there any way that I can find out what the factory trim was for my truck? Any help is really appreciated.

84 is easy.  Did it come with a cloth headliner?  If it did it is a Silverado.  If not it could be a Scottsdale or Custom Deluxe.  If the door panels have a black removable insert and the brushed aluminum dash cluster cluster it is a Scottsdale.  If the door panels are all the same color and the dash bezel is all black it is a Custom Deluxe.

Thanks a lot. I should've mentioned that the truck was completly stripped out but that was my fault.  Sorry about that.Is there any way to tell by the vin #?

Nothing by the VIN.  If it is stripped and there is no evidence of holes where the roof is on the edges or window posts than it is not a Silverado.  Is there a sticker in the glovebox my chance?  http://www.73-87.com/7387info/7387trimlev.htm  further explains the differences.  As you can see from the lack of a trim level "no code" this truck is a base model Custom Deluxe

Sorry for the late reply but I looked for signs you told me to and all I found was that it use to have a cloth headliner. Any one else have any ways of identifing the trim model of the c10?
