Chevrolet Astro — First generation (M-body) (1985–1994)

This doc's codes come from the Heritage Astro Van kits for the 1986 to 1994 model years: dealer data book power team and option price pages for 1986 to 1988 (joint Astro/Safari pages that also cover the GMC Safari, as are the 1989 and 1990 charts), passenger van option charts for 1989 to 1991, and Chevrolet order guides and technical guides for the passenger and cargo vans for 1992 to 1994. No kit page of the 1985 model year is in the archive (the kit file labelled 1985 holds the 1986 book, dated September and October 1985), so no code is claimed for 1985, and the 1989 to 1991 kits hold passenger van pages only. The pages show passenger and cargo vans in Astro, CS, CL and (from 1987) LT trims, extended body and all-wheel-drive models from 1990, the 2.5L L4 (LN8, cargo van, 1986–1987), the 4.3L V6 (LB4), a high output 4.3L (LU2, 1990) and the CPI 4.3L (L35, 1992–1994), with 4 and 5 speed manual and 4 speed automatic transmissions. NICB's 1991 VIN manual counts Astros in its small van lines; the kits print seat trims only as patterns (V4, K4) and paint colors without codes, so neither is listed here.
