It looks like it's based on a pickup frame - ? I'm guessing it's a 67 or 68 - does anybody know?

Mint68 · 06-14-2008, 12:27 AM

Kind of similar to the van in the cheech and chong movie. There is on like that for sale at a local car lot, but I think it is longer. I'll have to go and check it out.

It is most likely 73 - up judging by the bumper, but the 67-68's looked the same basically.

Here's some more. http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=295139

Truck chassis underneath. One of the board members had one for sale a couple of years ago. He sent me pictures of the underside and had the same coil spring rear suspension. Same front suspension. I assumed it was just a short wheel base frame.

bowtieboy93 · 06-14-2008, 01:37 AM

its an ice cream truck without decals

might be wrong but wasnt that the 67-72 model?

I looked at one of these a couple days ago and I'm going back on Sunday with a Tape measure. They look shorter than a shortbed and I think I read here somewhere they sit on a 2wd blazer frame.

Here is a link I posted on the blazer forum. Anyone know for sure?

Buy it!!! I 'll bet ya it's a 2wd blazer frame.

**special-K** · 06-14-2008, 09:27 AM

It`s a P-series frame,all the same C/10 components.The same body was used until the`90s.But,they dropped the 10-series before that.I really want to find one and use it.It`s hard to find them without the sides cut for windows.

Yep, they're called "step vans." Back in the 70's a friend of mine wanted to buy one to convert to a camping vehicle. Now, they're pretty common for food vendors around here.

72BlckButy · 06-14-2008, 02:00 PM

That would make one sweet cruiser with the right rebuild.

1969stepside · 06-14-2008, 02:00 PM

that is stright up SHORT BUS

dan42 · 06-15-2008, 07:06 PM

That one wasn't for sale - it looked as if it had broken down and someone left it there.

**special-K** · 06-15-2008, 08:08 PM

I`d love a stock one to run around in for my carpentry business.

69halfton · 06-16-2008, 09:04 AM

WHAT A GREAT DAILY DRIVER THAT WOULD BE

if would be great for a little Cummins 4cyl transplant. you could use it like a pickup, but drive it with some decent milage too

Livrat · 06-16-2008, 11:59 AM

Yes the "P" series step vans are on a normal truck chassis, although I can not confirm if the short one are on a 2WD blazer chassis.

Special-K..... here's a short one locally (seattle) for sale.. probably a bit far away for you.

Nate,

Your right! These Vans do make sweet little cruisers.

Here's a link I found on tricked out Bread Vans, Ice Cream Trucks, Divcos and Step Vans

Curser down towards the bottom to get to the Vans

I could not figure out how to break the link up to show only the Vans, so enjoy the other kewl rides.

Longhorn Man · 06-16-2008, 05:11 PM

I think 69 is when they went to that body style. I worked on a 68 P/30 at work and looked NOTHING like that.

BurnoutNova · 06-17-2008, 09:07 PM

look at the emblems on it, i'd think it would be a 68 by the looks of the emblems

Yeah,about as far away as that gold camper you had that I wanted soooo baaaad!

Here`s a dealer brochure of the little steeper...van:

There`s a laundry service out of Baltimore called Lord Baltimore Cleaners.Less than 10 years ago I was working a good 15 miles from the city and one of these shoties came to the house.By the hubcaps it was a`75 or earlier.I talked to the guy and he had been driving it since new and wouldn`t let them replace it.I thought that was kinda neat.
