I thought the C2500 represents the 3/4 ton Suburban but, I see R2500 advertised and they look just like my old 86'. Does it have to do with model year change?

Do you mean C and K???? the C stands for 2wd model and the K stood for 4wd model. :D
 
No, I meant the R. I saw an dealer ad, which I tried to link here with no success, offering an R2500 Suburban. It looked just like a Suburban. Wasn't a pickup with a topper.

Maybe the dealer didn't know what he was talking about. Do a traderonline.com search for GMC Suburban, model year 86-96, any state. It'll pop up.

"GM temporarily changed the usual "C/K" designation to "R" and "V" for the 1987 through 1991 model years. This was done to avoid confusion with the GMT400-based Chevrolet C/K pickup trucks, which were introduced in 1988, during the overlap period.":rolleyes:
