The 1971 Chevrolet chassis service manual for the Chevy Van and Sportvan, Series 10 through 30 (G10, G20 and G30 on 110- and 125-inch wheelbases, with six- and eight-cylinder engines). It covers maintenance and adjustments, minor service operations and removal and installation of components, arranged in GM's numbered sections from general information and lubrication to accessories, with a specifications chapter at the back. Most disassembly and assembly of major units is left to the 1970 Chevrolet Overhaul Manual; the few overhaul procedures that differ appear at the end of the relevant section. The 1971 models brought a completely new front-end appearance.
