87 custom deluxe

Is the 87 old or new body style?

Doc

IIRC the bolt pattern is the same, but I'd take a look before you go on my word alone!

Doc

Nothing to do with this thread but I just picked up a 87 Custom 10. How can I find out about this 'old or new' body style and thus figure out what I have.

Thanks, Dave

Does it look like a newer Chevy truck (88'-98')?? If it does, it's the new body style.

Doc

87 Is the old style which I think looks much better. Pick-ups went to the new style in 88 and the blazers & suburbans stayed with the old style till 92 or 93 I belive.

That's what I have but 'Doc' implied that there were two body styles for '87... weird if so.

Maybe they changed the lines and the demand was so great they started up again in the same year and sold some of the what was to be the '88 model in '87.

One would think there would be a serial number request every time you ordered parts.

87' was the transition year, and IIRC they made both body styles in that year. Same happened in 2000 or 2001 with the newest body style: you could still get the C/K Classic or the new style.

Doc

He's right early 88s were built in late 87
