GMC / Midas – other models: GMC pickups and vans alongside motorhomes of the Midas brand on GMC and Chevrolet chassis, six- and eight-cylinder engines of 2.8 to 6.6 litres
This page gathers commercial vehicles the register groups under GMC and Midas – pickups and vans from GM's commercial brand GMC such as the Sierra, Silverado and Savana, alongside motorhomes from the US brand Midas, which in the 1970s and 1980s built motorhomes on GMC and Chevrolet chassis. Both brands thus share the same technical base from General Motors' light-commercial-vehicle toolkit.

The register lists 22 versions from six- to eight-cylinders of 2,836 to 6,601 cm³, unladen weights from 1,360 to 2,890 kg, gross weights from 2,195 to 3,500 kg and widths from 1,650 to 2,420 mm.
GMC pickups and vans are a fixture of trades and commercial transport in North America; the Midas motorhomes on the same chassis spread mainly in the US as an affordable alternative to the big Class A motorhomes.
Unlike the mostly front-wheel-drive, unitary-body vans typical of Europe, GMC pickups and vans sit on a classic ladder-frame chassis with rear-wheel drive, allowing high axle and towing loads but leaving the frame's cross-members prone to rust. As petrol engines from the US market, the six- and eight-cylinder units are not subject to European emissions stages with particulate filters or AdBlue; instead, the condition of the carburettor or early fuel injection and of the ignition system matter.
On the GMC models, rust on the load bed and sills, the condition of the automatic transmission and axles count; on the Midas motorhomes, additionally moisture in the body, the condition of roof and windows and the habitation systems; parts for the chassis run through the GMC network, for the habitation body through specialist motorhome workshops.
