1988 was the first year of the GMT-400. 1 tons were available in the newer style and older style. Crewcabs, Blazers and Suburbans up to 1991 were old squarebody style only. Basically, there was no real noticeable differences between a 1987 and a 1988 square.

Welcome to GMSB Matt.

So what is it that you have in an 88 model? 1 ton, Burb, Jimmy or Blazer? How about that 87?
