* Multiple Engine Options: Chevrolet offered various engine options for their 1-ton trucks in 1987. These could include gasoline V8s (like the 5.0L or 5.7L), diesel V8s (like the 6.2L), and even the powerful 7.4L gasoline V8.
* Trim Levels and Purpose: The engine choice would depend on the specific trim level (C10, C20, C30), the truck's intended use (work truck, crew cab, etc.), and the buyer's preferences.
To figure out the exact engine, you'll need additional information:
* VIN (Vehicle Identification Number): This is the most reliable way to determine the exact specifications of your truck, including the engine.
* Engine Displacement: Look for a sticker on the engine itself or in the engine compartment that lists the displacement (e.g., 5.0L, 5.7L, 6.2L).
* Engine Code: If you have the engine code, you can cross-reference it in a Chevrolet parts catalog or online database.
Let me know if you have any of this information, and I can help you narrow down the engine options!
