Question...what are the differences between 82K30 and an 88

I know one is carbureted and one TBI but are the bodies the same? I really like the look of the 82 (except for the grill) and was wondering if the look of the 88 is the same (body wise). I'm looking at single cab dually 4X4's.

Only the 88 crew cabs, K5s and burbs are the same body style as an 82 to my knowledge.

My 88 isn't a crew cab, K5 or Suburban, but it's still a square body.



You guys forgot to add "and cab and chassis trucks" to your list of exceptions.

Im pretty sure the one tons were held back a year on design. Seems its been common through the years even through different manufacturers
