Question About 1967-75 Step Van/Value Van

Hi,

I don't know exactly which sub-forum this post would go to.

But, my question is this: does anyone remember the badges of the 1967-75 Chevy Step Van (P10,20,30) and the 1968-75 GMC Value Van (P1500,2500,3500)?

For the '67-'75 Step Vans, the front fender badge was the same as for the '67-'68 pickup trucks, with the Chevy bowtie logo with the series rating below it. On the Step Vans, from '67-'68 the inlay was painted red like the pickup version of the bow tie. Then in 1969, the inlay was painted blue, and in 1973, the inlay became a metallic yellowish gold.

And as to the '68-'75 GMC Value Vans, the front fender badge was, of course, similar to the '68-'72 pickups, which unlike the Chevy badges, did not change.

It was in 1976 that the Step Van and Value Van used a version of the 1975-80 front fender badging seen on the pickups of the period (Step Van 10/20/30, Value Van 15/25/35). I know the front cover of the 1976 Chevy Step Van brochure confirms this.
