1988 K30 RC dually pickup?
 

Was that possible in 88? I thought they quit making the pickups in 87 and continued with the cab & chassis until 91. I came across a truck on craigslist that is posted as an 88 dually pickup K30 with a dump hoist under a dually pickup bed. Then if it was a C&C they would have had to shorten the frame to fit the bed right?

They still made the square 1 tons in just about any flavor you wanted in 88. Crew/bonus cab single and dual wheeled or regular cab dually both in 2wd or 4wd.

You can look thru that (click the R/V trucks on the left to expand it).

I knew they still made the one tons but thought you couldn't get it in a regular cab pickup. I guess you learn something new everyday.

I wonder how much weight that box can take. Seems like you would want some serious reinforcement if you we're to make it a dump

I personally wouldn't have put a hoist under that bed. That needs to be under a flatbed or something more sturdy and built for it. It might be okay for a load of mulch but I wouldn't put anything else in it.

I don't think you could get a regular cab with a dually bed in an "R" series. duallys were C and CC were R.

Re: 1988 K30 RC dually pickup?
 

Obviously you could.

Here's what you could get in '88, you could get a dually pickup in either the "C/K" or "V" series this year. Lots of info on this site about this.
1 ton pickups are model 30903, so you could get a V30903 dually this year (4x4 squarebody) C30903 (2wd dually 88-98 style) or K30903 (4x4 dually 88-98 style)

Re: 1988 K30 RC dually pickup?
 

I stand corrected then, I swore that brochure listed out both R and V.

The only square regular cab pickup in '88 was DRW. '89 was the last square regular cab in a cab & chassis.

Here's an 89 C & C with a pickup bed and a liftgate on it. Listed as a pickup but its not. Notice the gap between bed and cab and narrow rear. I've seen this truck up close, its nice. Municipality conversion.

last truck looks pretty good

The only square body 2 door regular cab pickup in 1988 was the V30. It had to be a dually and 4x4.

I met a guy that worked for LACMTA equipment engineering that had a real nice 1990 R/V dually.
No gap between the cab and bed. Not sure if it started life as a C&C but it was a real nice truck.

I think they did
