You can do it without chocks by being very careful and setting the P-brake as hard as you possibly can... but most people these days never touch the P-brake anyway, and think "Park" in the transmission is good enough. Its not good enough for changing tires with a scissor jack!!!
Agreed. I had an old 1988 S-10 that came with chocks.
