1987 Chevrolet R10 Service and Repair Manual

This factory service and repair manual for the 1987 Chevrolet R10 documents one body style, the two-door standard cab pickup, and four engines that could go under its hood: a 262-cubic-inch 4.3L V6, gasoline V8s of 305 and 350 cubic inches, and a 379-cubic-inch 6.2L diesel V8. Every one is an overhead-valve engine breathing without a turbocharger. Three trims — Custom Deluxe, Scottsdale and Silverado — sit on the same chassis, so most of the difference between them appears in trim and equipment rather than in the running gear.

Known issues on the 1987 R10. Coverage has to stretch across four engines — a V6, two gasoline V8s and a diesel — with separate specifications, clearances and diagnostic steps for each. Beyond the engine bay the manual follows the truck through clutch, transmission and axle work, brake and steering service, suspension adjustment, and the wiring diagrams a pickup of this age usually needs before anything else.
