I just bought this truck a week ago and don't have much info on it other than what I know of square bodies I have owned in the past which were 1/2 ton trucks and 1/2 & 3/4 Suburbans.
this is a 1988 truck and the windshield guy (needed it replaced when I bought it) said in 1988 they made both body styles which the square body ran from 73' to 87' (correct?)
So, they started the new body style in 88' BUT carried over and made some square body's too?
So are 88' square body truck kinda rare or not really?
Also, the advertisement for the truck when I bought it claimed it was and R30 which when I looked up a part number for something claimed the R30 was a Suburban....?? I am confused!
It is a 1 Ton flatbed (7.5'x14.5') Could it be an R30 Suburban frame with a truck cab mounted with a flatbed?
I was thinking maybe the Suburban frame was maybe longer which would accommodate a flatbed better or is a Suburban frame the same as a pick-up?
Had Chevy trucks off and on all my long life but never a 1 ton or a flatbed.....
I've been able to find about next to nothing about an R30 online s any help would be appreciated
