GM's third-generation Chevy/GMC C/K pickup truck hit the market in 1973 and soon gained the reputation as a stout and sturdy performer. As a result, millions were sold over its production run that ended in 1987. The breakthrough styling featured rounded cab, roof, hood, and box corners so enthusiasts quickly dubbed them the Rounded or Squarebody trucks.

During an almost two-decade model run, the Chevy/GMC trucks have been used for utility work, hauling, and operating in a variety of severe applications.
