GMC Avolavakuorma-auto (BA) – Finnish register class for GMC flatbed trucks: eight-cylinder engines from 5.97 to 6.6 litres, 220 to 309 kW, gross weights up to 4.5 tonnes
"Avolavakuorma-auto" is the Finnish vehicle register's term for an open flatbed lorry, and register class BA groups together GMC vehicles of this body type. As no factory model name is recorded in the register, the class distinguishes the vehicles by engine displacement, door count and transmission type; "4ov" denotes the four-door cab, and "A" automatic transmission. The vehicles are powered by eight-cylinder petrol engines.

The register lists 7 versions with 220 to 309 kW from eight-cylinder engines of 5,967 to 6,604 cm³. Kerb weights range from 2,760 to 3,655 kg, permissible gross weights from 3,550 to 4,536 kg. Lengths span 5,850 to 6,340 mm, widths 1,980 to 2,400 mm.
Like the closely related Chevrolet sister models, these GMC flatbed trucks with powerful V8 engines also came to Finland as imported and used vehicles in the light and medium payload classes, where they were common in rural goods transport and trades work.
When buying a used example, check for corrosion on the ladder frame and load bed, 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, door count and transmission type, accurately measuring the engine actually fitted helps when sourcing parts.
