Is the '88 3500 GMC the "new" or "old" body style? I believe they made both styles in '88 depending on the configuration (single cab, crew cab, chassis cab, etc.). If it's the old style (that looks similar to your '82) then the plow should be a bolt-on swap. However, if it's the new style, the frame rails are farther apart and considerably different shape in the front so that would require a different mount for the plow.
