Hey guys. Im still new to the square body and Im trying to figure everything out I can!
When I went to register my ttruck, I noticed it was called a R30. I always thought it was a C30? So I went with it. Then I started wondering WHY! I googled it and came up with this:
Chevy C/K Trucks
C-Series Truck = 2 Wheel Drive (1960-2002)
K-Series Truck = 4 Wheel Drive (1960-2000)
C10 = “½ Ton” 2wd (1960-1987)
C20 = “3/4 ton” 2wd (1960-1988)
C30 = “1 Ton” 2wd (1960-1988)
K10 = “½ Ton” 4wd (1960-1987)
K20 = “3/4 ton” 4wd (1960-1988)
K30 = “1 Ton” 4wd (1960-1988)
C1500 = “1/2 Ton” (1988-1999)
C2500 = “3/4 Ton” (1988-2000)
C3500 = “1 Ton” (1988-2002)
K1500 = “1/2 Ton” (1988-1999)
K2500 = “3/4 Ton” (1988-2000)
K3500 = “1 Ton” (1988-2000)
Chevy R/V Trucks
R-Series Truck = 2 Wheel Drive (1987-1991)
V-Series Truck = 4 Wheel Drive (1987-1991)
R10 = “½ Ton” 2wd (1987-1988)
R20 = “3/4 ton” 2wd (1987-1988)
R30 = “1 Ton” 2wd (1987-1988)
V10 = “½ Ton” 4wd (1987-1988)
V20 = “3/4 ton” 4wd (1987-1988)
V30 = “1 Ton” 4wd (1987-1988)
R1500 = “1/2 Ton” ( Didn’t Exist!?)
R2500 = “3/4 Ton” (1989)
R3500 = “1 Ton” (1989-1991)
V1500 = “1/2 Ton” (Didn’t Exist!?)
V2500 = “3/4 Ton” (1989)
V3500 = “1 Ton” (1988-1991)

This answered a few questions but not all. The Cs and Ks named trucks from 1960-2002, so why did they go off on a tangent from 1987-91 and give them names like R and V?
Thanks guys!
