GMC Midas – other models: the collective page of GMC-based vehicles outside the named ranges, from the CCKW truck to the motorhome chassis, 2,730 to 5,790 kg unladen weight, six- and eight-cylinder engines
GMC, formed in 1911/1912 from the merger of Rapid Motor Vehicle and Reliance Motor Car, has been General Motors' commercial-vehicle brand ever since and became best known for the CCKW range, the off-road 6x6 truck of the Second World War, and for the Sierra pickup range. GMC's sturdy chassis also frequently served as the base for motorhome and special bodies built by other manufacturers. This page gathers GMC-based vehicles, from the army truck through the pickup to the motorhome chassis, that the register could not assign to a named range.

The register lists here 6 versions with displacements from 4,730 to 7,400 cm³ from six- to eight-cylinders, unladen weights from 2,730 to 5,790 kg, gross weights from 3,500 to 11,880 kg, lengths from 6,550 to 8,550 mm and widths from 2,230 to 2,500 mm.
The CCKW truck was built in more than half a million units for the US Army and its allies and, as the model for many post-war off-road trucks, shaped military logistics; civilian GMC chassis related to the Sierra remained meanwhile a base for motorhomes and special vehicles in North America.
On the military trucks, the condition of the transfer case, axles and fuel tank matters; on chassis with motorhome or special bodies, frame corrosion, the brake system and how the body is mounted; parts for GMC drivetrains are usually still available through the classic and commercial-vehicle scene, for military variants more often only through specialist dealers.

What to check before buying
- Check the hour meter against the service records — a replaced instrument is the most common gap.
