Chevrolet CG – the full-size body-on-frame van of the 1970s to 1990s: 5.3 to 5.7-litre V8s, Van Guard and AT 9 versions, unladen weight up to 2.5 tonnes, gross weight up to 3.5 tonnes
Chevrolet is General Motors' mass-market brand, and the CG series denotes its full-size body-on-frame van, built from the 1970s to the 1990s under designations such as CG 21305 and CG 31305, competing in North America directly with the Ford Econoline and the Dodge vans. VAN GUARD marks versions with a factory anti-theft package, AT 9 a version with automatic transmission; the digit strings after CG correspond to official type codes from vehicle registration rather than a single factory designation. All were powered by Chevrolet's well-proven small-block V8 engines.

The register lists here 10 versions with 5,300 to 5,735 cm³ displacement from V8s throughout, unladen weights from 1,944 to 2,510 kg, gross weights from 2,900 to 3,500 kg and widths from 2,000 to 2,500 mm.
The Chevrolet van of this generation was for decades North America's standard box-bodied vehicle for trades, conversions and passenger transport, its V8 engines making it a robust if thirsty alternative to smaller European and Japanese vans. Through the 1970s and 1980s a whole conversion industry grew up around it, turning plain delivery vans into comfortably equipped conversion vans with club seating, windows and special paintwork.
On used examples, the condition of the V8 (timing chain, carburettor or early injection), rust on sills and wheel arches, the automatic transmission, and, on Van Guard versions, the condition of conversions and extra equipment all count, along with brakes, the steering box and the fuel system of the older carburettor engines; parts come through US-import dealers.
