Body Panel Question

[Doc Feel Good]

I quick question:

an 87 GMC 1 ton

and

89 GMC 1 ton

use the same body panels

(hood, fenders, bed)

Probably not.

The '87 should be the "old" body style (the blue crew cab in the background below. Two-door cabs had the same front clip, just less doors ) These are the "R" and "V" styles.

The '89 is likely the "new" body style (the red one at the bottom) called "C" and "K" in these years.

For 88-91, *some* trucks (crewcabs, some cab&chassis) kept the old style but most switched in '88.

yes mine is the old style.. I just wanted to confirm this...

and since you guys are the experts...

the 89 is a 3+3 crew cab 1 ton 4x4....

There WERE crew-cabs in the new style, but I don't believe they happened until the mid '90's, so an '89 sixpack is probably the old style. Only way to know for sure to is to get pictures or run the VIN.

The main reason for my post was to see if they did anything 'unusual' that year...

I always seem to get the unusual vehicles.. and I am a bit paranoid...

once bit twice shy...(yah it is lame.. but I am.. so)

The 87 parts will work on yours.
