Union City Body did not change their van for years. They had one body style that had two different names. The Value Van was what was put on GMC chassis' and the Step Van was what was put on Chevy chassis'. They are the same body just named differently. Union City Body also made a body called a Classic. This Union City Body Classic has a Workhorse logo on the grille and it says Workhorse on the hood. That"s why so many people say, "I have a Workhorse", but in reality, only the chassis was made by Workhorse while the body was made by Union City Body Company.
