Title: **Difference between 1987 GMC trim levels**
Post by: pholliday1 on March 08, 2013, 11:03:50 am

Through the years GMC has used trim levels from Sierra, High Sierra, Sierra Grande, Sierra classic. Specific to the 1987 year model does anyone have knowledge of what levels were used and the differences. Comparatively Chevy had Custom Deluxe, Scottsdale, and Silverado.

I know it's the Chevy website but I assumed there may be some knowledgable GMC folks?

In all that I have seen, pretty much anything went in 1987 due to the new model year change over in 1988, especially the truck plants that just made the regular cab pickups.

I was curious to the trim level difference, which level was "highest" versus entry level etc.

Thanks zieg!! Yea I bet most anything went on in 87 with whole new "changing of the guard" would be interesting to talk to some of the factory workers from that time frame I'm sure they would have some stories no doubt

The trim levels are the same RPO as found on Jeff's site.  The names were just specific to the GMC vs Chevy.

Yes, both GMC and Chevy trim levels were identical down to the RPO number.
