1989 Chevrolet G20

1989 Chevrolet G20 3/4 ton Van
(8 Cylinders H 5.0L TBI OHV 305 CID)

51k original miles!

I bought this van at a University of Washington fleet vehicle auction in 2002. It had around 20k miles on it at the time so basically its first 13 years of service as a maintenance vehicle that never left campus (and was cared for meticulously) it put on about 1,500 miles a year. Since then Ive used it primarily to do material runs and the dump. Of course Ive taken it on a few camping trips across the mountains and to the coast (which make up a good chunk of its miles). So its been very lightly used and averaged about 1,300 miles a year in the 23 years Ive owned it.

Recent work on the van includes:

(2025) Band new water pump, fan clutch, belts, and thermostat
(2024) spark plugs, distributor cap, PCV valve
(2023) alternator, drive belt, brake pads, calipers, and rotors.

Good tires, good seats, solid.

Things to note: The gas gauge, wiper fluid, dont work and the rear bumper is bent out because some guy clipped it with his car when he was checking out my girlfriend walking to my house!
