LASTING CHEVY VALUE

what do you want ativan reduced to simple basics a van must have minimum length with maximum maneuverability to enable it to get around quickly in tight places it must be totally enclosed for protection of the cargo from rain and snow and from tow courage its cargo must be easily accessible from the rear from the front and from the side in its simplest form then a van would be a box on four wheels with an engine to move it around but the placement of the engine is critical too far back it becomes inaccessible for service and becomes an intrusion on the cargo area too far forward length is increased and maneuverability sacrificed there is an optimum position for the engine far enough forward to be accessible for service far enough back to maintain minimum length and maximum maneuverability that's exactly where the engine is in a Chevy van far enough back to retain minimum overall length and maneuverability far enough forward for easy accessibility permitting 27 standard maintenance checks from the front it also allows removal of the engine from the front this design has other advantages the use of a unitized body frame design gives maximum space with minimum weight weight saving means improved fuel economy the overall aerodynamic design is aimed at reducing wind drag and further improving economy the placement of the engine in relation to the load is designed toward optimum weight distribution for good handling finally it permits a large unobstructed wind shield that gives excellent driver visibility so useful in maneuvering in tight spaces with two wheelbases 110 and 125 inches and GVW ratings up to 83 hundred pounds Chevy van is the ideal cargo carrier the sliding side door can be operated with one hand only four and a half inches of clearance is required so you can load in close quarters the rear doors can be opened a full 180 degrees load and unload in very tight quarters inside a full fifty three and a half inches between the rear wheel housings and because of Chevy's forward engine placement 125 inch wheelbase models have one hundred forty two inches of load length at the floor between engine housing and rear doors there's easy access to the rear compartment from the driver's seat and the big rear opening makes it easy to load and unload bulky items up to 296 cubic feet of load space completely protected against weather and secure against pilferage room enough to hold all the components of a full-sized prefab swimming pool exactly like the one you see here and yet in overall length this Chevy van at 201 inches is actually 27 inches shorter than most full-sized station wagons that means it's easily maneuverable in traffic here a sport van demonstrates how maneuverable it is excellent visibility quick and easy handling with power steering front disc brakes and finned rear drum brakes computer match to GVW rating provide excellent stopping capability getting in and out is easy because the front wheels are located ahead of the doorway maneuverability visibility steering this Chevy van demonstrates how important these qualities are in getting around in close quarters there's a full range of engines available three v8s including a big new four hundred four barrel v8 available later in the model year and two sixes including a thrifty 256 that's been redesigned for greater efficiency and economy all engines on G 10 through 30 vans feature a high energy ignition system completely electronic it delivers a hotter spark provides faster sure starts under extreme weather conditions and increases sparkplug life in addition half-ton vans with GVW rating of 6,000 pounds and less have a new catalytic converter the combination of high energy ignition plus catalytic converter not only reduces emissions but importantly contributes to improved fuel economy these engines also include a new early fuel evaporation system which preheats fuel going into the cylinders results in faster warmup improved drivability reduced emissions and there are more savings recommended service intervals have been extended engine oil and chassis lube up to 7500 miles oil filters up to 15,000 miles spark plugs up to twenty-two thousand five hundred miles vans with gbbw ratings over six thousand pounds do not have a catalytic converter and do not require unleaded fuel throughout chevy vans are built for strength a massive girder beam independent front suspension with coil springs at each front wheel that absorb road shock for tech cargoes two-stage leaf type rear springs are just automatically to varying loads rear shock absorbers are staggered to reduce wheel hop both front and rear shock absorbers are shielded to keep out dirt and for protection from rock damage there are tough Salsbury type rear axles fully welded heavy gauge floor panels side rails cross sills and underbody component to protect against rust and corrosion all van doors and bodies are immersed in a bath of special priming paint an electrical charge draws the rust resistant coating into every corner and crevice for lasting protection chevy vans are not only built strong they're attractive and appearance a value in
