On a 1999 Chevy Express 1500, the starter is typically located on the
passenger side of the engine, near the bell housing (where the engine connects to the transmission). You'll likely need to get underneath the van to see it clearly. However, access can be somewhat challenging due to other components.
Important Note: Before attempting any work on your starter, disconnect the negative battery terminal to prevent accidental shorts. Also, be aware of hot engine parts.
