Is it just a branding thing.
I ask as sometimes when online suppliers site they dont have a G10/G20/G30 model under chevy so wondering if i can look under GMC G1500/G2500/G3500

G30-35 is the heavy duty style van. These vans can come with 6 to 8 lug set ups and the heavier duty floating rears. box style vans can even come with dual wheels.....
Unfortunately for what ever reason the after market did not keep up with all of the changes GM made to there vans over the years.

But you will only be getting the Vandura and the Savana parts in the GMC brand for your Chevy

Body panels will inter change though out all.
