Boyertown Postal van? -- Last edit: 2011-11-28 18:55:53 |

Wrong shape of front. It's Grumman-Olson Kurbmaster, probably Junior. |

This is not a Grumman Olson Kurbmaster or Kabmaster, it is a steel body made by the now defunct Union City Body Company. |

This is more a odd looking Chevrolet Step Van. Not a UCBC body. Too small. |

It's written on it (00:12:15) Other viewpoints: (00:12:09 // 00:13:13) |

Your second thumb was the old main pic. -- Last edit: 2015-05-30 00:14:25 |

[P-30] weight class. |

P-10, P-20 and P-30 were part of the accurate model name from the beginning until the end of these models (see the '66 brochure, the '79 one or the '90 one), shouldn't it be added in the name rather than having it as a factory code?

We have been using this [P-30] at the body/chassis field since the incept on this site. |

... which doesn't mean it's accurate nor that it can't be changed |

Would be "P-30 Step Van" then? Possible that this need to be changed. After all, back then we were also putting the "C-10" and others in chassis code... |

That is a good question It is my understanding that the Dammann's '75 years of Chevrolet' has been using this chassis code throughout at the caption on these pictures. Nothing on the Wikipedia pages yet and only have this http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multi-stop_truck#Manufacturers listed. eLMeR, is there something that we can support the new chassis code field here? -- Last edit: 2015-05-31 20:01:42 |

Is it really used as factory code in this book, or did you read these names as codes because you were used to do it that way here? I despair each time I see that a truck line "exists" only as light-duty models in WP (see the Advance-Design, the C/K-series and so on...). I'm sorry, I don't understand? _____ If you look at the pages linked above, you'll see that they were named P20 Step-Van and P30 Step-Van (with an hyphen in Step-Van; the P10 history seem a bit messy and would need some more researches), and that, like for the C-Series: • they have a factory code which depends on payload and wheelbase: ∗ P2345 to P3635 for the 1958-66 Step-Van and Step-Van King models, ∗ it was changed into 20945 to 31545 codes (without a letter, for some of them?) for the 1967 to 1972 models, ∗ and it ended as CP208 to CP314 for the 1973 to 1990s versions. (I didn't search for the aluminum models. Did their code have a different basis?) • except for the 1973 to 1990s longest P-30 model, P-20 and P-30 (IMCDb writing) share at least 2 wheelbases and the corresponding bodies, which make them a little bit difficult to differentiate. So if you ask me my opinion, I'd say yes, we should change the way they are identified for now We could keep the generic Step-Van name when in doubt or when no clue exists to indicate a specific model. And with a well seen logo, it could be then possible to add the model name after Step-Van, to keep all models together (hoping NextGen will allow us to have it in the accurate order).

The Dammann book actually used the P-Series as shown at the picture on the right as it described. It would be nice to use the chassis code on the left if we have good detail of the profile as shown at the TV Show/Movie. Then, again I would need to relearn the new chassis code for here with your new information |

I'll try to make a list of the different codes in the forum, if it can help. |
