Chevrolet C/K “Square Body”
Called “Square Body” for its boxy design, the third generation C/K featured a computer-designed body with more space and comfort than ever. The truck was bigger and tougher due to the new platform, revised suspension, and tougher axles. Customers had numerous cab configurations, special editions, engine options, and details to choose from, making the third-generation C/K one of the best trucks in the world at the time (via Driving Line).
Produced from 1973 to 1991 in the USA, this model was made in Argentina, Chile, Mexico, and South Korea. During its long production run, Chevrolet introduced a diesel engine as an option. Which proved to be a highly popular choice in Europe and South America. Today, most of the trucks are rusty, but preserved examples are fetching high prices since people fondly remember those utilitarian trucks.
