They're just the base model work truck grilles to my knowledge. They came out with the side-by-side V-series lights.

EDIT: Yep, looked them up... They are:

15628797 GRILLE, RAD (CHEV) (EXC V22) (1989-91)
15629622 GRILLE, RAD (GMC) (EXC V22) (1989-91)

Reference RPO V22: GRILLE, RADIATOR(CHROME) CHROME GRL(V22)

From what I can tell for 81+ V22 also includes dual front lamps.

Thanks. I miss that '84. It was an all time favorite...Camper Special,6.2 w/Banks Sidewinder,Gear Vendors,Detroit Locker/Tru-Trac,desert mural on tailgate/pinstripe(subtle)/lettering. The stereo was an Alpine w/aux. amp and Kickers behind the seat. It had an Alpine cell phone that matched the stereo...green illuminated buttons...and it interacted with the stereo. When a call came in the volume for the radio turned down or the cassette would pause. I paid $700 for that phone! This was in the late '80s.
The '78 was a Camper Special,too. I've always had a thing for camper trucks. It had a 454/4spd and a wood bed floor,as well as good stereo. I warmed that motor up a bit and enjoyed surprising people with a fast loaded work truck. I've always used ratchet straps to tie down the ladders and scaffold on the racks. That must have been a sight all loaded up with full racks carrying 30'/24'/20'/18' walk boards,24'/32' ladders,and 6 24' pump jack poles w/jacks haulin' butt out of a light. I had lettering on the tailgate that said,"No turbo No injection Just one stinkin' Quadrajet!". This was back in the '80s when people were all about Japanese vehicles being so much better and Toyota was calling those little trucks with dual wheels a 1t and even had a SRW pickup with 1Ton on the tailgate,as well as 5spd and anything else under the hood.

How about hauling a goat!

The dark gray 86, just changed charts Thursday with it. Was able to get into most wells in two wheel drive with a little throttle. Works way better if I don't have to ride the quad (way cleaner). The light gray 82, got it given to me from a neighbour. Put a clutch in it and different tranny, lifted it, and threw new tires on. Drove it from mid October until about a week ago. Run like a top. Total investment 900.00. Pretty hard to beat that. The blue 80 was given to me. Some deer damage on the front end - bumper still needs replaced but drives good. It's the wifes truck (she won't let me near it).

We had in the Netherlands C10's as elite police cars for a few decades. They easily loaded 12 people on saturday nights





C10's started in the 60's:

Ya,no kidding!! I was going into a compressor site on Sat. with the 86,couldn't tell some of the road had been washed out...covered over with snow & bounced it through a 20" ditch.Other than rearranging most of the stuff inside cab & broke rear shock,nothing else happened.Try that with a newer IFS truck!! It would still be ditch!!!Old Chevys rule!!
