Is this a square body?

The OBS trucks are generally considered to be the '88-'98, with carryover models till the early Aughts, GMT 400 trucks. Like these examples in my driveway.....

I saw the GMT 400s before they came out and didn't like them, so I hurried and ordered an '87 (the red truck).

Which is funny because I saw the '81's before they came out and didn't like them and hurried and ordered an '80.

My dad teased: "You would have seen the '55 Chevys and not liked 'em and hurried to buy a '54!

Our "squarebody" trucks really aren't that square. Now, those '04+ F150's on the other hand... them sumbitches are square.

You must be registered for see images attach

I think those stylists started on the clay model one day, then took an early lunch, got drunk and never came back to finish it. Then a higher up walked into the styling room and said "That's genius! We will save so much time and money on engineering the stamping dies!" Lol.

With that laid back grille and low windshield angle?

That's downright swoopy where I come from.

I’ve yet to find a flat surface or square edge on a squarebody truck.

My Dart is more square than a square lol.
