It’s a V20 change to V in 87. The frame is complete rusted and falling a part.

VileZambonie's post simply refers to the thread title, "Using 87 C20 frame for a 87 V20."

GM rebranded the 1987 model year light-duty trucks from "C" to "R" and "K" to "V" for marketing reasons.  Most people rolled their eyes when GM did that.

It was tough to be an auto parts counterman after that mistake.... :o

It's funny how after 36 years the confusion has only slightly waned.

JohnnyPopper:
I get what the R stood for.

What was the V supposed mean, along with what marketing target?
