Chevrolet Light – collective page of the Light Duty range: from the Light Delivery and Light Truck to the Carryall Suburban, six- and eight-cylinders of 5,734 cm³, unladen weights from 1,420 to 2,160 kg

This page gathers Chevrolet commercial vehicles carried under the Light Duty designation – the class Chevrolet used to separate its half-ton pickups, delivery trucks and the off-road-capable Carryall Suburban from the heavier Heavy Duty ranges of the one- and one-and-a-half-ton class. The models range from the plain Light Delivery through the 3104 pickup to the Carryall Suburban, the closed wagon built on the pickup chassis that formed the backbone of Chevrolet's off-road programme for decades before becoming the standalone Suburban.

The register lists here 5 versions with six- and eight-cylinders and a displacement of 5,734 to 5,735 cm³, unladen weights from 1,420 to 2,160 kg, gross weights from 1,920 to 2,835 kg and widths from 1,700 to 1,960 mm.

The Light Duty range was the best-selling segment of Chevrolet's commercial-vehicle programme in North America and, with the Carryall Suburban, also marks the origin of the modern SUV category; the pickups competed directly with the Ford F-100 and Dodge.

On these classics, rust on fenders, load bed and frame, the condition of the carburettor and ignition system, clutch and manual or automatic transmission, and on the Carryall Suburban the tightness of the body and the condition of the bench seats matter; parts run through the wide North American classic-car and GM aftermarket.

What to check before buying

  • Check the hour meter against the service records — a replaced instrument is the most common gap.
  • Compare the data plate and chassis number with the papers.
  • Check the weights in the papers against the figures here — attachments change them.
  • Ask about parts availability for this build year — the running costs hang on it.
