Chevrolet Step – Stepside pickups and P-series Step Vans for delivery duty, six- and eight-cylinder, around 1.6 to 2.9 tonnes unladen
This page gathers two different vehicle types the register carries under the Step heading: Stepside pickups with the stepped bed showing external fenders, and Step Vans of the P series, Chevrolet's forward-control chassis for box bodies such as bread and delivery vans, carried in the model name as P10, P20 or P30. Both were built in large numbers over many years.

The register lists here 6 versions from six- to eight-cylinders of 5,356 to 6,200 cm³, unladen weights from 1,550 to 2,931 kg, a gross weight of 2,225 to 3,500 kg and widths from 1,920 to 2,170 mm.
While the Stepside pickups count as classic work vehicles of the 1950s to 1970s, the P-series Step Vans were for decades the backbone of American delivery traffic, for instance in parcel and beverage services, thanks to their upright driving position and low load-sill height. Both vehicle types used the same rugged ladder frame and the same engines as Chevrolet's other pickup and van ranges.
On used examples, rust on the external fenders and load bed matters on the Stepside pickups, rust on the floor pan and door sills of the box body on the Step Vans, oil consumption and carburettor condition on the engine, and leaf springs and bushes in the suspension. The condition of the cab floor is also worth checking; parts run through the American youngtimer trade.
