the wife's got one bigger than mine!

[mrhino]

Im fairly new to the 73-87 section of the forum. my wife just got herself a new truck. Its a 88 GMC Crew. She's been wanting her own truck for a while now,. but we have to haul kids and grand kids around still, so we wanted a four door. I bought her a four door chevelle but that didnt work out. So we started looking for a crew cab, that she could make her own. Well we found one this past weekend. As soon as we saw the ad on craigslist we knew it was the one. it is identical to my 86 except for being twice as big. It is the same color, same grill, same ugly nasty interior, even the dash is cracked in the same places

Her's




Mine




Some of her major plan's are to make this a short bed. I took a long bed and made it a short bed on my 70, by cutting the floor and buying new bed sides.
but Im not sure on the 73-87's is this how it is being done, or can you section the bedsides, if you guys could point me in the right direction I would certainly appreciated it.
Also are the interiors in the crew cab and suburban interchangeable? like door panles, plastic trim, glass that sorta thing?
and one more question are the 88-91 crew cabs/ 1tons, concidered The R/V series or The C/k series.

Thanks for your help and we cant wait to get started on it.
