Chevrolet Avolavakuorma-auto (BA) 2ov – Finnish register class for two-door Chevrolet flatbed trucks: six- and eight-cylinder engines from 3.86 to 5.74 litres, 62 to 235 kW
"Avolavakuorma-auto" is the Finnish vehicle register's term for an open flatbed lorry, and register class BA groups together Chevrolet vehicles of this body type; the suffix "2ov" denotes the two-door cab. As the vehicles carry no factory model name in the register, they are distinguished there by engine displacement and transmission type – "A" marks automatic transmission. The recorded engines range from smaller six-cylinders to large eight-cylinder units.

The register lists 5 versions with 62 to 235 kW from six- and eight-cylinder engines of 3,859 to 5,735 cm³. Kerb weights range from 1,480 to 2,706 kg, permissible gross weights from 2,160 to 3,448 kg. Lengths span 4,130 to 5,750 mm, widths 1,850 to 2,040 mm.
Open flatbed Chevrolets of this kind served in Finland as versatile working vehicles for agriculture, trades and light goods transport; the span from compact six-cylinder to powerful eight-cylinder versions shows how wide the range of imported American flatbed trucks was in this weight class.
When buying a used example, check the condition of the load bed and its side panels, corrosion on the frame and, depending on the engine, the clutch and gearbox or the function of the automatic transmission. As the models can only be identified by engine displacement and cab version, accurately determining the engine actually fitted helps when sourcing parts.
