TKCR, my truck is a '87, and has a different grille than that. It has the single headlight on top, with the marker light/turn signal below. There's nothing in the grille. A google image search shows both styles for '87. Did they indeed use both? Why?

White Halftrack, it sounds like you're describing the late suburban grilles. I think I've heard they started those in '89, and went till the end of the run in '91. They're a common upgrade to older trucks. These grilles modernize the front end, look distinctly chevy, and are a bolt over swap.
