For Square Body enthusiasts, the possibilities are almost infinite. And the body styles and trim levels are almost endless: pickup, Blazer, Suburban, Stepsides, Crew Cabs, Dualies. They were offered in a multitude of engine and drivetrain combinations: inline six, V6, small-block and big-block V8s, diesels. Through the ’70s and ’80s, as passenger cars grew more complicated and fussy, the trucks remained simple, rugged, easy to repair and modify. We see them everywhere.Īnd when we think about it, it’s easy to see how the Square Bodies became so popular with the hot rod and modder crowd. Some owners even carefully restore them to factory original. And you can find enthusiasts enjoying their Square Bodies in nearly every form of automotive pastime, from drag racing to autocross to mud bogging. We’re talking about the 1973-87 Chevy and GMC pickups and SUVs-the ones that have come to be known as the Square Bodies.
We’re not sure anyone predicted this at the beginning, and the trend developed right under our noses, but one of the more popular enthusiast vehicles in America these days isn’t a car, it’s a truck.
Enthusiasts call these familiar machines the Square Bodies. From 1973 to 1987, General Motors built millions of the most beloved light trucks in North America.
