@dudewheresmycar908 For 1987, it was renamed the R/V series (to accommodate the fourth-generation C/K marketed alongside it) and was gradually phased out through the 1991 model year.

I love the stance and color scheme. The interior looks nice and I like that it still has a two-post radio with original-style knobs. I always wanted one of these. It's fun to look down on traffic from a lifted truck. The C/K lines were renamed to R/V in 1987 to make room for the GMT400 C/K that was about to come out in 1988. Why GM didn't call it the C/K Classic or something like that, no one knows.
GM started calling the square bodies "R/V" instead of the traditional C/K, because the "OBS" GMT400s started being produced in 1987 as 1988 models. I see the need for differentiating the trucks to avoid confusion, but they already had a difference in name. They could have used C/K 10/20/30 for the old trucks and C/K 1500/2500/3500 for the new 1988 GMT400 trucks. R/V is a horrible choice for name because this "V10" makes people think it has a V10 engine, as most people have no idea GM ever changed the naming system. That and R/V sounds like youre talking about a motorhome 😅.
That's always been my favorite gen also, and the one before '60 to '66 are cool looking. I also have always liked the first half of the square body gen but this front clip on the second half is just ugly.
Technically that low gear is bs because gm change it from 1-4 to L 1-3 during production in some trucks which was supposed to make you think you had a low gear when in reality it was just first gear
A bit of overlap with the new 1988 Chevy C/K/Silverado trucks that would be introduced in spring of that year. I was in college at the University of North Dakota in January 1987...and the local paper had an article about GM bringing the new Chevy trucks to ND for cold weather testing. The new design was kind of jarring considering the previous generation was introduced in 1973 with a mild refresh in 1981.
For a sec I thought it actually had a v10 swap or something
GM should have kept the K10 name, or just use the Silverado name like they're doing presently. Why use a V10 name when you have a V8 under the hood?
I think he made a typo
@vr4787 it's not a typo, the naming issue was from GM themselves. He explained that in the video.
@@damilolaakanniGM used C/K designation from 1960-2002 for Chevy and GMC. They were never referred to as V10..

I think they should have kept the C10/20 and when the 88’s came out they should have maintained a C/K 1500/2500.

Not to mention Ford put an actual V10 in the first generation Super Duty trucks ;)
I'm here to thank you for using the proper chassis designation for this model year
I prefer the 1967-1972 C-10 body style, but this is a nice truck.
That's always been my favorite gen also, and the one before '60 to '66 are cool looking. I also have always liked the first half of the square body gen but this front clip on the second half is just ugly.

What's it like driving an '87 Chevrolet V10?
Exactly like driving a '73 Chevrolet K10.
When a truck was a DANG OL TRUCK!
I am sure the cup holder industry appreciates your videos. 😊💙✌️
What a GREAT truck.So clean. I've always been a big square body Chevy guy!
Thank you so much my buddy Zack for the continuing content, Really appreciate it ❤❤.

I forgot they changed their 4x4 truck names those few years and I thought it was a viper squarebody or something for a minute.
Here I am going 😮 gm made a V10? I thought only Chrysler did! Oh... It's a V8...
I don’t know which would be more terrifying at 88mph, this truck or a DeLorean
I bet I'm not the only person who clicked on this thinking there would be a Dodge V10 under the hood.
