Vehicle Description
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. Sineage 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.
