Z71 is for Chevies.
Car makers tend to use sex to subliminally advertise their models, which is
why you often see letter tags after the model designation such as: SE SX EX
ES XE XS
maybe SLT subliminally advertises SLUT ?!?

You get "bright" work (chrome/pseudochrome) on the SLT so maybe:

ST and the SLT. They are simply used to denote various levels in trim
options and carry no real meaning.
The WS model is reserved for the ultra basic V6 1/2 ton no frills truck.
You cannot option the other engines or get the extended cab and 4x4 options
within this package.
The ST model is the basic package for the rest of the truck line, wich
includes a stereo and the 40/20/40 front seat over the bench unit in the WS.
You can get into the V8's and other cab/chassis confiurations here.
The SLT package gives you all of the upscale toys like the power windows,
cloth, carpet, and the like. A/C is also part of the package.
The sport option is basically the SLT where you get the bodycolor grille and
bumper and even the V10 option in the 1/2 ton body.

however, Dodge didn't have any specific meaning in mind. The WS is the one
meant for fleets. GM does the same thing with the W/T version for their
full size trucks. My 94 was this as well.

Actually, WS stands for Work Special.

You were fine til that last sentence. The V10 is NOT available in the
1/2 ton body under any circumstances. Never has been, never will be.
The Sport package in the 1500 offers higher output if you order the
360, but the V10 and Cummins cannot meet the emissions standards of a
sub-8500 GVWR truck, and the V10 would kill DC's truck CAFE rating.
Bernie Hanssen
advertised it as such. All the usual power options-V8, auto, air, and
original cruise control in the "base" model with vinyl bench seat and floor
mats.

Then you had better come over here to Decatur TX, and tell the dealer that
he is selling trucks that Chrysler does not make. They have a black 99 QC
sport on ramps. It plainly says 1500 and V10 on the side in huge white
letters. There is also the proud owner of a 98 QC sport 1500 V10 living in
Bridgeport. I see his truck every time I go into town. It is Flame Red.

I asked my dealer months ago. He contacted Chrylser and even they
didn't have an answer for him. So, I guess in stands for whatever you
want.

To make an engine swap of a V10 into a 1500 is more trouble than it's
worth - you would have to swap not only the engine, but all the drive
accessories, the radiator, the transmission, and the entire front
suspension. On the other hand, adding the V10 logo to the door takes a
couple of minutes. Pop the hood on that truck in Texas and see what's
*really* in there.

ton dodge truck......if you live in mexico....they also have a 1500
series sport model known as "lil boots" its kinda like our ss/t's but it
comes with a v-10

accessories and the tranny should bolt right up. Of course, it would be
easier to just swap out 1500 springs on a 2500 and then *legally* sell it as
a 1/2-ton (1500). I doubt any dealer is dumb enough to try selling a V8
with V10 badges (think of the liability - repercussions).
Also, just because Chrysler says they don't make something, doesn't mean
that they don't. There are many examples from back in the musclecar days
where a vehicle came from a dealer (with Chrysler's stamp of approval) that
wasn't supposed to be, such as 4-door Hemi Coronets.

The V10 is not a "modular" engine off the 360. The V10 block was based
on the 360 block but became its own animal - there are very few shared
parts. Ford uses modular engines, not Dodge. The tranny does not
"bolt right up", either - the transmissions used with the 360 are not
even close to the torque capacity of those used on the V10 and Cummins.
Likewise, a spring swap won't do the job either - the brakes, tires,
wheels, and other suspension parts (control arms on 4x2s, axles on 4x4)
all need to be uprated to handle the extra weight.

That was also before the days of things like publicly available option
lists and federal emissions and fuel economy regulations. Every
powertrain combination has to be federally documented now. It would be
*impossible* for Dodge to release a US-spec 1500 V10 without the world
knowing about it.
