GMC CHEVROLET VAN 2500

The register holds 28 versions here with five- to eight-cylinder engines from 3,460 to 7,446 cc, kerb weights from 1,600 to 3,075 kg, gross vehicle weights from 2,087 to 3,500 kg, lengths from 5,690 to 5,890 mm and widths from 1,750 to 2,600 mm.

The C/K and Silverado ranges rank among the best-selling pick-ups in North America, competing there directly with the Ford F-150 and Dodge Ram; the G-vans and their successors, the Express and Savana, form the backbone of many trade and delivery fleets. In Europe, these models are mainly import vehicles for enthusiasts and specialist use.

On the pick-ups, check for corrosion in the frame and bed edges, the condition of the automatic transmission and transfer case on four-wheel-drive models, and oil consumption in the V8 engines; on the vans, check the sliding-door seals and the condition of the leaf-spring packs. Parts are available through US importers and generic GM parts catalogues, though body panels on imported vehicles are sometimes only obtainable from the United States.
