The 1991 model year includes familiar names across sedans, trucks, and vans that still turn up in yards and auctions.
There are 16 1991 Chevrolet Models, ranging from the Astro to the Suburban; for each model the data is organized as Body style,Common engines,Notable 1991 changes — you’ll find below.
Which 1991 Chevrolet models are easiest to maintain or source parts for?
Pick the more common platforms like the full-size trucks and SUVs (C/K, Suburban) and passenger cars (Caprice/Impala derivatives); they share many engines, suspension parts, and electrical components with other GM vehicles of the era, so parts are plentiful and aftermarket support is strong.
How much did Corvette and Camaro/Firebird options differ in 1991 compared with the rest of the lineup?
Sports cars like the Corvette and F-body Camaros/Firebirds used distinct performance engines and chassis tuning, so their powertrain and handling parts are less interchangeable with passenger cars and trucks, but routine items (brakes, filters, some electrics) remain similar across the brand.
