I have been seriously thinking about looking for a Chevy Express 1 ton van because service bed trucks and just trucks in general are a lot harder to find in good shape but just in my looking for trucks I found plenty of vans so I may have to settle for a van. If I get a van I would like an early LS style motor because they seem to be a lot lower maintenance. I've seen the Chevy Express are actually near the top of some of the reliability charts.

I think the first year for the redesign was 2002. That gets you the better GMT-800 brakes besides the LS engine. Beware the side door hinges go bad and get very hard top open/shut so make sure to check that when shopping. I used to work for a company that had one, and I basically never used the side doors unless I had to because of that, and one set of hinges had already been replaced.
