GM Chassis Class C
Does any manufacturer use a GM Chassis to build a class C? The only GM I found in use is in the Roadtrek Class B.

GM isn't making many cutaway class "C"s, because the factory was retooled to make Chevy Colorados/GMC Canyons. This is why Forest River has switched to Ford for almost everything.
This is the correct answer. From what I can find early 2014 was the last shipment of 4500 cutaways. I'm not even sure they are building 3500 cutaways anymore. Navistar will start building new Chevy cutaways next year, but TBD wether it will be the traditional Express, or a rebadge of the Class-4 Navistar chassis.
Most interesting. Ours is a 2016 on a 2015 4500 chassis.
I can imagine GM's upper management in meetings after meetings discussing whether to continue the cutaway line or re-tool & start up the Colorado/Canyon line. (Ok, it was probably only one meeting. Maybe it was a single managers directive. Who knows how these decisions are made...)
Speaking of Colorado/Canyon, we looked at the new units as they were arriving on the dealer lots. Yuk. They set the body so high that this 6 footer cannot reach over the pickup box side or tailgate & touch the box floor. On a medium size stock height pickup! Our '93 GMC 3/4 ton 4wd set lower than that. I don't like the current styling line of "set it higher, make it look BIG!". So much for usefulness.
Because they were so tall, we decided to keep our older Canyon, and our friend discarded the idea that he wanted one as well. That's two lost sales.
GM, are you listening?
