1978 Chevrolet G-Series Van

This 1978 Chevrolet G20 van is outfitted with a Trail Wagons conversion and was purchased new at Glen Grant Chevrolet in Seattle, Washington. The van is said to have remained with its original owner until it was acquired by the current owner in 2021, following a period of long-term storage. Finished in yellow with brown graphics over a beige and brown interior, the van is powered by a 350ci V8 paired with a three-speed automatic transmission. Features include four swiveling captain’s chairs, a third-row sofa, woodgrain trim, a sunroof, picture windows, a rear ladder, a roof rack, and 15″ chrome wheels. Work performed under current ownership reportedly involved refurbishing the rear axle, servicing the brakes, changing the oil, and replacing the tires, u-joints, radiator, battery, and fuel pump. This Chevrolet conversion van is offered at no reserve by the seller on behalf of the current owner with manufacturer’s literature, audio accessories, a jack, and a Washington state title in the owner’s name. The van is finished in yellow with brown graphics and features a front spoiler, chrome bumpers, wheel-arch flares, four picture windows, a rear-mounted ladder, a roof rack, and towing mirrors. A sliding door is equipped on the right side along with barn doors at the rear. The front fascia is dented near the right headlight surround, and the paint on the lower bodywork is chipped. Chrome 15″ wagon wheels wear 235/60 Cooper Cobra tires that show date codes from 2020, while a spare tire with a cover is mounted on the right rear door. Braking is provided by front discs and rear drums, and the van is equipped with power steering and heavy-duty rear springs. Service performed under current ownership reportedly included replacing the brake pads and shoes, wheel cylinders, and brake hoses. Discoloration is visible on one of the wheels. The front cabin features swiveling captain’s chairs trimmed in beige cloth with brown vinyl trim as well as woodgrain door panels and brown carpets. Amenities include a pop-up sunroof, vent windows, a center console with cup holders, a foot-shaped accelerator pedal, cruise control, and a Clarion cassette stereo. The upholstery is cracked on the passenger seat’s inboard bolster. The tilt-adjustable steering wheel wears an aftermarket wrap and sits ahead of an 80-mph speedometer as well as gauges for fuel level, coolant temperature, oil pressure, and voltage. The five-digit odometer shows 34k miles, approximately 100 of which were added under current ownership. The rear passenger compartment features dual swiveling captain’s chairs, a third-row sofa upholstered in beige cloth, woodgrain trim, a ceiling vent, and overhead lighting. A game table with four cup holders can be repositioned to accommodate various seating configurations. The 350ci V8 is equipped with a four-barrel carburetor and sends power to the rear wheels through a three-speed automatic transmission. Work performed under current ownership reportedly included refurbishing the rear axle with replacement bearings, seals, and gears, as well as changing the oil and flushing the cooling system. Additional service is said to have included replacing the temperature gauge, belts, hoses, u-joints, radiator, battery, fuel pump, and fuel lines.
