Default C10

Hi guys,

I bought a chevy pick up to restore but I don't know what type it is. In Europe we are not so familiar with the older types of chevy's. The serialnumber on the papers is 1GCDR14K5HS166734. Can someone tell me what type this is or what the difference is between the types? Some say it is a C10, others say it's a blazer, some call it a silverado. I checked the serial and I now know what year it is, where it's build, enginetype and so on, but I want toknow what type it is.

Thanx,
Jürgen

It would be extremely helpful to see a picture. Its hard to tell by the VIN what it is unless you have a database.
