Re: V30 vs K30. What's the diff?
No, in 87 gm changed the code of the 73-87's to r/v because they didn't want it confused with the new style pick up coming in 88 which took the c/k banner. So, 87-91 square body trucks are r/v while 88-98 trucks took over the c/k.

Ford and gm have been known to reuse the old body style after a new one came out.

Re: V30 vs K30. What's the diff?
Not really. The carb was still available (but increasing not popular) till the 89 model year. All of the carb trucks in 88-89 were 454's, Vin "W". In 87 carb was still avaible in the 350's, Vin "M" also.

Re: V30 vs K30. What's the diff?
The R/V trucks were the square body style; the new trucks can be referred to as the GMT400.

Re: V30 vs K30. What's the diff?
The new '88 body style actually came out way early during '87,not in the fall as usual,so they started the '87 model year with the new R/V model designate in preparation for the new style coming out. Also,GM knew the it would be a few years with both or mixed body styles in the 30 series. In '88 the square body was still available as a 2 or 4wd regular cab DRW pickup. In '89 all 30 series cab & chassis trucks were available in square body. In 90/91 it was down to only Crewcabs,Suburbans,and Blazer/Jimmys only available as square bodies,the last of the R/Vs.

Re: V30 vs K30. What's the diff?
Those trucks actually had *7* lug wheels. That truck was essentially an F150 with the snow plow prep package.
