Sorry - it was 1964 model year for the first G10 - available with the
Chevy 2 4 banger or the 194 6, with the 230 becoming available
mid-year? Prior to the G10 (1963 year and earlier) there was only the
CorVan (Glenbrier) and the Kurbmaster/StepVan

Your question is still good. I mistyped. The year was 1973 and it had a
small block 350 cu V8.

Sorry and thank you for your question.
