I would argue against deletion as this vehicle plays an important role in the plot: it's a disguised surveillance unit with audio/visual monitoring on the inside. |

From what can be seen, it looks like a 1968+ Chevrolet Step-Van / GMC Value Van with the 1969+ aluminum body (rounded horizontal bar) and the rounded wheel arch / dual rear wheels of a 1-ton P-30 (Chevrolet) / P-3500 (GMC). As such, Chevrolet as default, in IMCDb habits. |

But this one has distinctive edge of the roof, seen on UCBC, but rather not on Chevrolet/GMC... |

@Jale: It's apparently the 1981+ GM optional higher roof: ![[Image: 1981gmcvaluevan.jpg]](http://pics.imcdb.org/18713/1981gmcvaluevan.jpg) ![[Image: 1981chevroletstep-vanoptionalhigherroof.jpg]](http://pics.imcdb.org/18713/1981chevroletstep-vanoptionalhigherroof.jpg) (1981 GMC // 1982 Chevrolet - Brochure excerpt) What are these UCBC vans you always refer too? I know what UCBC means, of course, but I never found any specific document about such vans, for now. I may be mistaken, but it seems to me that you identify all GM vans with the aluminum body as UCBC products: it's of course partially true due to the 1957 agreement, but that should not be done as they are genuine GM products and were sold as such... |

I never doubted, that vans with classic GMC/Chevrolet grill and alu body were marketed as GMC Value Van/Chevrolet Step-Van. But different case is with vans without classic GMC/Chevrolet grill (for example - /vehicle_101104-UCBC-Step-Van.html ). I'm not sure, how they were marketed. "During the 1970s and 1980s Union City began providing vans directly to large fleet customers such as United Parcel Service. They also built revised bodywork that could be placed on International, Freightliner or Navistar chassis in addition to General Motors products." http://www.coachbuilt.com/bui/u/union_city/union_city.htm |

But you relate the rounded bar of the aluminum body to Grumman-Olson vans, not to GM ones? I feel very uncomfortable with your UCBC "identification": if I understand correctly, you don't have any picture showing these vans, and according to a single line in a non sourced page, you guess that all models you don't recognize are UCBC vans? Are you sure that the vans cited in this line aren't just the huge models made on the P-60 chassis and on other big chassis? "International, Freightliner or Navistar chassis", as said in this line (leaving aside the fact that International and Navistar are the same make), imply more likely the use of medium-duty chassis. -- Last edit: 2019-10-30 02:52:57 |
