Need a work van to put to use? This 2004 Chevrolet Express cargo van may just be a candidate. This van has been used by one owner as his work van for his plumbing service. It was purchased with just 50 miles on it. Signage has been removed with some fading present.
Made in General Motors' Wentzville, Missouri factory, the van's exterior is in overall satisfactory condition but there are missing patches of paint on the van's nose above the grille. The van's bodywork is in good shape with .....
some rust present. The front bumper fits tightly yet it has blemishes of its own.
Far more aerodynamic than its predecessor, the Express derived much of exterior styling from the Chevrolet Astro mid-size van (including its flush-mounted exterior glass), deriving its grille from multiple trims of the Chevrolet C/K pickup trucks. Similar to the Lumina APV minivan, the Express adopted high-mounted taillamps next to the rear windows, placed above the rear door hinges. In a design advancement for the market segment, the rear doors are hinged to open nearly 180 degrees, allowing the vehicle to back up to a loading dock.
The cargo van is offered as a two-passenger vehicle (initially with an optional passenger seat delete); the passenger van is offered as a five-, eight-, 12- or 15-passenger vehicle (the latter, only with the extended 155-inch wheelbase).
This van rolls on Primewell Valera HT radials, size 245/75R16 at every corner. Each one is mounted on a factory alloy wheel. The tires are in good, original order while the wheels are in poor condition. New brake lines were recently installed. The hoist is mounted to the bed. Speeedo is inop.
In reverse of its predecessor, 60/40 split side doors were standard, with a sliding door offered as an option (initially at no cost). From 2003 to 2014, side doors were offered on the driver side; only the split-panel doors were offered and only on standard-wheelbase bodies.
For 2003, the Express and Savana underwent a mid-cycle revision. Alongside substantial frame and chassis upgrades, the bodywork forward of the windshield was revised. Distinguished by a higher hood line, the newer front fascia (developed as an improved crumple zone) was brought closer in line with the GMT800 full-size pickup trucks introduced for 1999; the model line also introduced a degree of parts commonality between the two model lines. The dashboard underwent a redesign; along with the addition of dual-stage airbags, the interior added multiplex wiring (adding increased functionality to the interior electrical system).
For 2003, the engine lineup underwent a series of revisions. The “Generation III” small-block V-8 engines (based on the LS-series engines) were introduced, with the Express and Savana receiving the 5.3L V-8 (on light-duty vans) and the 4.8L and 6.0L V-8s (on heavy-duty vans).
For 2003, the GMT600 chassis underwent a substantial revision and was redesignated GMT610. In line with the GMT800 chassis, the GMT610 adopted a three-section fully-boxed frame. With slight modifications, the GMT610 also adopted the front suspension of the GMT800 pickup trucks, with short-long arm front suspension (rear-wheel drive) and torsion-bar front springs (all-wheel drive). In another change, four-wheel disc brakes were introduced, standardizing anti-lock brakes (ABS).
\Competition to this Chevrolet in 2004 include Ford's E-350, Dodge's then-new Sprinter van and GMC's Savana 3500.
