This factory service and repair manual for the 1987 Chevrolet P60 lists one body, a cab-forward chassis, and four V8 engines to put in front of it: 5.7 and 6.0 liters of gasoline, a 7.0L of 427 cubic inches, and the 8.2L diesel. Trims are P6T042 and P6T042 Stripped. Because the same chassis carries all four, the manual keeps engine coverage separated by unit while treating the frame, driveline, brakes, steering and wiring as one shared set of procedures.
