Just scratched an itch. In a BIG way.

[yellomalibu]

the one pete got has the over under headlights, previous years and a square single headlight 80-82 or somethin like that, previous 73-79 had round headlights, 90-92 era had the smaller square headlights side by side, ALSO the hoods lips were different in that same time, there were 2 different hoods

Close enough. I don't want to derail this thread too much going over all the changes throughout the years.
I've got a pretty good grasp on the differences ... I was trying to say that the average person doesn't.

Good score. And with some character.

[SuperBuickGuy]

nice truck

[SpiderGearsMan]

87/88 cracked 305/350 in the lifter valley , but it wouldn't have lasted 24 years
nice truck

[Huskinhano]

I hate you. Nice score!

[ford141]

Freakin' awesome truck...

It has .... throttle-body injection, .... and I think a PCM somewhere running it all.

yup, kinda hard to have EFI without the PCM

look near the pass side kick panel, or behind the glovebox, or somewhere around there. There will be a big fat wiring harness going to it. The EFI has never given me or my son any trouble on the 87 V20 suburban I gave him. The distributor did die once, though. No fuel...caused by no ignition signal.

Before long you will wonder how you lived without a crew cab! epic score indeed.

Still learning about it. Have to decode all the RPOs in the glovebox yet. But it is a "V30" meaning 4wd one ton. (In 1988 the C/K designation went to the new body style and the older style Suburbans/Jimmys/Crew Cabs became R/V models.) It has hydro-boost brakes, trans cooler, throttle-body injection, lots of emissions stuff (all intact and stock) and I think a PCM somewhere running it all.

It has holes in the roof, dash, and bed where the light bar, CB radio, and tool boxes were removed. It still has a steel frame for the welder tacked into the bed.

if im correct and I may be wrong, I thought chevy trucks that were single rear wheel with 8 lug rear were 3/4 ton & duallys were 1 ton

they made 1 tons both ways for decades....if it's a C30 (or earlier, a 3800, or later, a 3500) it's a one ton. regardless of the number of rear wheels

[BOOOGHAR]

just noticed petes has hydro boost

[BOOOGHAR]

Nice!

One of the most interesting thing I've noticed since getting/ driving my 84 C10 long bed... is people have NO CLUE about how to estimate what year it is. Is that a 76? No, it's an 84. Oh... it's in good shape. Thanks, it's been a project.

Nice find.
I used to drive those at work, on a runway. plow truck, some had no plow.

I liked it. even a 2wd. simply a cap made it useful all year.

'88 might have the crazy 11 to 1.
I see the fuel injection label.

not all that common, came in the big ones.
