GMC adopted the Vandura name in 1971 for its full-size G-series van, the GMC twin of the Chevrolet G-van, sold in cargo and (as the Rally) passenger forms. The 1971 restyle moved to an engine-forward layout broadly similar to the Ford Econoline.
The Vandura ran through 1996 and was a favorite base for conversion-van companies. In popular culture it is inseparable from the black-and-grey GMC van driven by the A-Team in the 1980s TV series. It was replaced by the GMC Savana for 1996.
