"C" was for all 2 wheel drive Trucks, Blazers & Suburbans from 1/2 ton to 1 ton (10,20,30)
"K" was for all 4 wheel drive Trucks, Blazers & Suburbans from 1/2 ton to 1 ton
In mid 1987 General motors released the new body style "CK" Truck in regular cab only and in doing so changed the letter designation for the "old" body style to "RV"
"R" for 2wd & "V" for 4 wheel drive. There are few new body styles out there still that are/were registered as '87 models. Although with the "CK" classification.
The "RV" series was continued through 1991 with the Full size Blazer, Crew Cab and Suburban. Thus the craigslist ad listing as a "V10" simply means it is a 4wd 1/2 ton truck with a V6 or V8 engine is all.

You need to track down the parts book writers and tell them that! They can't seem to get it through their heads there is a difference between the c/k and the r/v! Makes it a real PITA to buy parts for my 89 R 3500 crew!
