Motors' Chevrolet and GMC brand C/K-Series pickups d�buted in
mid-1972 for the 1973 model year. Development of the new
third-generation trucks began in 1968 with vehicle components
undergoing simulated testing on computers before the first
prototype pickups were even built for real world testing. The
redesign was revolutionary in appearance at the time, particularly
the cab, departing from typical American pickup truck designs of
the era. Aside from being near twins, the Chevrolet and GMC pickups
looked like nothing else on the road. The third-generation trucks
are colloquially known as the "Square-body" or "Box-body"
generation. GM's official "Rounded-Line" moniker highlighted the
pickup's rounded styling cues that were incorporated into the
design. This included rounded windshield corners, rounded corners
of the cab roof, rounded-corner doors which cut high into the cab
roof eliminating roof height, slanted front fenders, and rounded
pickup box corners which allowed for rounded wraparound taillamps,
a first for GM pickups. The design also featured strong distinctive
curved shoulderlines which rounded out below the beltline. The
curved shoulderline continued across the back tailgate on Chevrolet
Fleetside and GMC Wideside models. However, the low slope of the
hood and rectangular front end of the truck originated the
"square/box-body" nickname, which was propagated through truck
magazines and word of mouth. The Rounded-Line generation ultimately
ran for a lengthy 15 model years (1973-1987) with the exception of
the Crew Cab (C/K-30 four-door cab), Blazer, Jimmy, and Suburban
versions, which continued up until the 1991 model year. GM ends
this generation with 1987 as 1987 was the last model year for the
conventional cabs (two-door cab).
