Short Chevy

Anyone know what Chevy calls
their really short G 10 vans?
Not talking about minivans.

Re: Short Chevy

I'll let you know when I
find out.
Odd that I can't find it either
I've seen lots of them.
I thought someone might have
run one for a service truck.
Looks like that's what
this one was.

Re: Short Chevy

The only other "Really Small" van was the Greenbrier. But that was based on the Corvair in the 60's.

Many trips to Scout camp
in those!
I'm gonna do a drive by
on the thing in a bit.


BTW: That was the original
American van.
A rip-off of the VW bus.

Re: Short Chevy

Neo I do believe it is a G10. The G20 was a little bigger (3/4 ton) and then you had the G30.

Re: Short Chevy

Re: Short Chevy

I do believe you could order a smaller G10. I think I have seen them, I do believe they were the most popular van for the abductors!

Re: Short Chevy

Well, it just says,
"Chevy Van 10" on the fender.
Seems to be @ 96"(?) wheel base.
All done up as a service van,
partition, ladder rack, even
an amber bubblegum machine
on the roof!

Malco, you have a dirty mind, mind you it takes someone else with a dirty mind to recognize that.

Old vans are sweet! Got to have side pipes, port hole window and a mural on the side.
