Positive Review
I've had my van for 14years. It is a 1994 light-duty G30 standard wheelbase, 5.7 liter V8, 4L60E transmission and no A/C. This van's engine and transmission lasted me 100k, and I bought it with 178k of hard service miles. With regular oil changes, chassis lubes, and yearly tune-ups, the G-series will serve you faithfully. They are very cheap to acquire and maintain. When buying one, be sure to look for evidence of the windshield seal leaking. If you spot rust stains on the interior side of the firewall, or soggy carpet, that is usually the cause. Repair will be around $1k if you have it done right. The front suspension on G30s needs a good shakedown every 10 years, depending on how gentle you are with the van. MPG with payload varies, but it's around 12mpg combined average. I don't mind at all, because new Sprinter/Transit work vans cost $35,000... Not to mention they can't touch the G-series reliability. I put a new engine and trans in mine recently. Looks like I'm set for the next 25 years. I've installed various factory options to make the van more livable. This thing is a tank and I love it. Best investment you can make in a work van. As sure as the sun rises, my van will be there when I need it.

My 96 Chevy 30 is the chassis for a Roadtrek 21’. The 350 has more than enough strength to move the RV up over mountain passes easily well towing and the gross vehicle weight is 7000 lb empty. Best looking and most classic van ever made 1996 and earlier Classic Chevy van !!!
Lots of room
None whatever
The 1995 Chevrolet G20 van conversion by Gladiator is truly the best vehicle I have ever purchased. When I ride my van I feel like the American dream is Alive and well. It is a V8 5.7 liter 350 engine and it goes quick I tell ya’. Best part is all the space you have in the interior. Never broken down on me yet bless the lord Jesus! You need to own one if you can find 1 , good luck and Yeehaw Cowboy!
Fun drive
Gas guzzler
Fun drive I bought it for 2K and I have invested $1300. It was worth it I take a road trip and I make money by Hauling things for people. I've searched high and low and cannot find any information on my specific g20 which is a cargo van. Any leads??
reliable,comortable,easy to drive,has power
rust,check for leaks around window
i own a 1990 g20 chevy van i bought it with 73k miles im the second owner its spacey and comfortable the heater core is a pain and the dog house but overall its a great investment, i have invested so far 500.00 but its paying off didnt understand why my van boggs down and why it hesitates and found out it needed tps and my caytlic converter was clogged, if your thinking of investing in one or buying one its a awesome choice,they last and are reliable and getting harder and harder to locate,and to find its worth the investment.
Whale of a Van, Spacious,Luxury,Chevy
Nothing Whatever!
Just Bought myself a 1995 Chevy G 20 Gladiator Conversion Van with 145,000 Miles. One Owner vehicle and well taken care of. The Gladiator was made exclusively by the Glavel Corporation. It is hands down the best investment decision I have ever made. So far, I have used it to go cross country and it has not let me down at all. Furthermore, it has been handy for toting junk and rubbish to the flea market . The expansive room in the Chevy Van is amazing. One of the best features of this 95’ Gladiator is being able to go Glamping with comfort. Do not hesitate to purchase a 1995 Chevy G20 Conversion Van if you can find one. Sincerely, from this man with a van!
