Cargo van buyers opted for the Chevy Express, and so, falling into a gray area between the two options, the Astro was discontinued in 2005.Ī 1A Auto Parts' Chevrolet Astro Van part is a new aftermarket part and will last 2-3 times longer than a similarly priced used part. It remained the same for the majority of this generation, and, as the minivan market formed and more options became available, family-orientated minivan buyers opted for the Chevy Venture instead.
The same 4.3L V6 was offered, but with 10 less horsepower. The second generation, arriving in 1995, was only available in the extended chassis version from the first generation. This and its 4.3L V6 made it the perfect option for buyers in need of a dual-purpose vehicle built for towing and transporting families and cargo alike. It could also tow more than its competition with its body-on-frame design, including a sub frame. The 1985 Astro could seat up to eight (one more than the competition) and, like the Toyota Van, had rear-wheel drive, a layout that was slowly being phased out during this time and could not be found on the front-wheel drive Chrysler models. Chevy marketed the Astro as a vehicle "built to do more than a minivan can," and they weren't lying. This lead to the creation of the Plymouth Voyager and Dodge Caravan, which dominated the all-new North American minivan market.Ĭhevy wanted a piece of the action, and so the Chevy Astro and its twin the GMC Safari debuted for the 1985 model year. Lee Iacocca, working for Chrysler, brought rejected plans from his long-time employer Ford over to Chrysler to introduce the new vehicle. Before the minivan arrived, buyers were used to cramming their family and belongings into station wagons to handle those long trips and pesky kids.
It saved money just having to match the front vs.
#1995 CHEVY PASSENGER VAN REAR END FULL#
In the G-van's with a full floater they only offered 3.42, 3.73, or 4.10's for a gear ratio, I lucked out and got the 4.10's. I originally wanted to go with 4.56's in mine, but could only find those in CUCV trucks, and I couldn't use those axles because the rear wasn't wide enough. So you'd have to pull the axle, to get to the nut holding the hub on, in order to pull the drums off. I was like yeah, calipers pop right off.haha The rotors/drums mount on the back side of the hub, I remember having to drive out the studs and driving them back in through the rotors. You're right on the brakes, I swapped to discs as soon as I got the axle to the house, and wasn't even thinking about the drum brakes when the question was asked. After searching junkyards and craigslist in neighboring towns/states for weeks, I ended up finding a full float in a '94 G30 5 minutes from my house, go figure.
I had to search for a little while to find a full floater, every G30 or express van I came across had the 9.5" semi float axle it seemed like.
