GMC Chev – pick-ups and vans from the corporate kinship with Chevrolet: from the C/K line through the Tahoe to the Astro and Ventura, six- and eight-cylinder engines, gross weight up to 3.5 tonnes
This page gathers pick-ups and vans registered under the GMC brand that appear in the register under the short designation "Chev", reflecting the close technical kinship between GMC and Chevrolet within General Motors: both brands have for decades built largely identical commercial vehicles under different badges, from the classic C/K pick-up line through the Tahoe SUV to the full-size G20 and Astro/Ventura vans.

The register lists here 8 versions from six- and eight-cylinder engines, unladen weights from 1,960 to 2,800 kg, gross weights from 2,699 to 3,500 kg and widths from 1,950 to 2,170 mm.
In North America these vehicles covered the whole spectrum from the work pick-up through the family-friendly SUV to the small van for trades and passenger use, and with their sturdy body-on-frame construction shaped the North American commercial-vehicle market of the 1980s and 1990s. The Astro/Ventura van appeared in 1985 as a more compact alternative to the full-size vans and remained in production almost unchanged until 2005.
On used examples, check the frame and sills for rust, the automatic and transfer case on four-wheel-drive versions, the condition of the petrol engines, carburettor or early injection depending on model year, and the brakes and suspension bushings; parts run through the GM network of GMC and Chevrolet dealers.
