Chevrolet 4ov – trucks recorded in the Finnish vehicle register by door count and engine displacement: V8 engines from 5,964 to 8,100 cm³, 220 to 268 kW
This page gathers Chevrolet trucks that are recorded in the Finnish vehicle register not under a factory model name but under the code "4ov" – in Finnish registration practice, "ov" denotes the number of doors on the cab, so "4ov" means the four-door cab variant. The versions are distinguished in the register solely by the displacement of their V8 engines, ranging from just under 6 to just over 8 litres; the letter "A" after the displacement figure marks vehicles with automatic transmission.

The register lists 5 versions with 220 to 268 kW from eight-cylinder engines of 5,964 to 8,100 cm³. Kerb weights range from 2,910 to 3,360 kg, permissible gross weights from 3,901 to 4,309 kg. Lengths span 5,600 to 6,100 mm, widths 1,970 to 2,090 mm.
Large American V8 trucks such as these Chevrolet models came to Finland as imported and used vehicles in the light and medium payload classes, where their rugged ladder-frame construction and easy-to-service V8 engines made them attractive for work in rural areas.
When buying a used example, check for corrosion on the ladder frame and wings, the condition of the automatic transmissions, and the clutch and brake system on manually shifted versions. As the vehicles are identified in the register only by engine displacement and door count rather than a model name, matching parts relies mainly on accurately measuring the engine actually fitted.
