1987 Chevrolet R/VThe third-generation Chevrolet C/K, produced between 1973 and 1987, is legendary in every sense of the word. The roots of the "square-body" can be traced back to the early 1960s, when the first generation C/K took the reins from the Task Force series as GM's premier truck offering that blended all-out utilitarianism with everyday comfort. The third generation C/K was a major step towards modernization for the series, utilizing a wind tunnel-designed body, computationally developed suspension components, and a smorgasbord of then-new creature comforts.Upon its release, the square body was firmly ahead of the competition. Its body was created with aerodynamics in mind, mixing a brick-like geometry with rounded edges to allow air to caress it rather than impede it. Its stretched wheelbase was bolstered by a sturdier frame, which was supported by independent front suspension on rear-wheel drive C-Series trucks and revised front leaf springs on four-wheel drive K-Series models. The third-gen was also offered with a dizzying number of powertrain options, ranging from iconic big blocks, to trusty small blocks, and fuel-efficient inline-sixes. For 1987, the C/K's engine options received computer-controlled fuel injection, improving gas mileage and cold weather operation.1987 is a highly sought-after model year for the third-gen C/K, as it was the last model year of the body style, and fuel injection made daily operation easier. Actually, R/V is a more accurate title, as GM began using the C/K designations for the GMT400 generation that year, renaming the 1987 models to R/V instead. Due to demand, second-hand values for 1987 R/V trucks are higher than average compared to earlier model-year third-gens, typically going for around $35,000.
