Chevrolet G10 – half-ton version of the full-size G-series van with the glazed Sportvan trim, eight-cylinder, 147 kW, around 1.6 to 2.8 tonnes unladen
This page gathers the versions of the Chevrolet G10, the half-ton version of the full-size G van range Chevrolet built from the 1960s; as with the C/K pickup range, the number 10 marks the lightest, 20 the mid, and 30 the heaviest payload class. The Sportvan version is the glazed passenger variant with side windows, as opposed to the windowless cargo van. The G20 and G30 versions of the same range offered greater payload for heavier business use.

The register lists here 6 versions with 147 kW from eight-cylinders of 5,030 to 5,733 cm³, unladen weights from 1,640 to 2,820 kg, a gross weight of 2,015 to 3,221 kg, a length of 4,270 mm and widths from 1,840 to 2,140 mm.
The G10 was the backbone of Chevrolet's full-size van programme and served both as a delivery vehicle for trades and business and, in Sportvan trim, as the base for motorhome and camper conversions; it competed with the Ford Econoline and the Dodge Ram Van. From the mid-1990s the Chevrolet Express range replaced the G-Van.
On used examples, oil consumption and carburettor condition matter on the V8, rust and sag on the ladder frame and leaf springs, rust on the sills and wheel arches on the body, and the condition of the side-window seals on the Sportvan version. On the transmission and propshaft, the condition of the universal joints also matters; parts run through the American youngtimer trade.
