Chevrolet P-Series (P30)

The forward-control chassis behind a million delivery routes.

The flat-nosed P30 forward-control chassis became the default platform for step vans, bread trucks, food trucks and Class A motorhomes — so ubiquitous that decades after production ended, P30-based RVs and vending vehicles still drive steady demand for brakes, suspension and 454-based drivetrain parts.
