R10 nomenclature was introduced in 1987 to differentiate the Squarebody style trucks that used fuel injection and to clear the way for the new body style trucks to use the C/K designation. Since the squarebody style continued until 91' in burb and crewcab format, they were designated as R or V (R = 2wd, V= 4wd), and the new body style trucks were C or K.

Except for the Blazer. Even a 2wd was still called a K5.
