GMC Umpikorinen (BB) – Finnish collective page of closed-body GMC vans: V8 engines up to 7.4 litres displacement, 139 to 268 kW, 2,375 to 3,385 kg unladen weight
This page gathers GMC vehicles assigned in the Finnish register to the Umpikorinen (BB) class – the category for commercial vehicles with a closed box body. Model designations such as 4ov 6583cm3 A or 5ov 6599cm3 A give the number of doors (Finnish ovi) and the engine displacement of the version; the suffix A denotes automatic transmission. Displacements of 5.3 to 7.4 litres point to the large American V8 engines General Motors fitted in its cutaway and van chassis of the period – the 7.4-litre engine is the big-block known as the 454, also used in sister Chevrolet models.

The register lists here 11 versions with 139 to 268 kW from eight-cylinder engines of 5,300 to 7,400 cm³, unladen weights from 2,375 to 3,385 kg, gross weights from 3,546 to 4,355 kg, lengths from 5,580 to 6,250 mm and widths from 1,900 to 2,060 mm.
Vans of this class served in Finland and Scandinavia mainly as furniture, refrigerated and distribution vehicles, built on GMC chassis with a typically American ladder frame and rear live axle, valued for the long distances and cold climate.
On used examples, rust on frame and body, the condition of the automatic transmission, the fuel consumption of the V8 engines in everyday use and the tightness and insulation of the box body count; parts for the GM engines are widely available through the North American and European parts trade.
