1976 Chevrolet C-10 Silverado

An all-new clean sheet redesign of General Motors' Chevrolet and GMCbrandC/K-Series pickups débuted in mid-1972 for the 1973model year. Development of the new third-generation trucks began in 1968 with vehicle components undergoing simulated testing on computers before the firstprototypepickups were even built for real world testing.[16]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.[17]The third-generation trucks are colloquially known as the "Square-body" or "Box-body" generation.[18][19][20][21]GM's official "Rounded-Line"monikerhighlighted 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 roundedwraparoundtaillamps, a first for GM pickups. The design also featured strong distinctive curvedshoulderlineswhich rounded out below thebeltline.[18]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 truckmagazinesandword of mouth.

GM'sdesign engineersfashioned the "Rounded-line" exterior in an effort to help improveaerodynamicsandfuel efficiency, usingwind tunneltechnology to help them sculpt the body.[22]Other design traits include sleek sculpted body work, anaerodynamiccab with steep windshield rake, and a unique available hiddenradio antennaembedded into the windshieldglass.[18][23][24]

There were two types of pickup boxes to choose from. The first type, calledFleetsideby Chevrolet andWidesideby GMC, was a full width pickup box and featured a flared shoulderline to complement the cab in addition to rounded box corners and the new aforementioned rounded wraparound taillamps. Bothsteelandwoodfloors were available. The second type, calledStepsideby Chevrolet andFendersideby GMC, was a narrow width pickup box featuring steps and exposed fenders with standalone tail lamps. Initially, only wood floors were available.[25]

Thewheelbaselength was extended to 117.5 in (2,985mm) for the short wheelbase pickups, and 131.5 in (3,340mm) for the long wheelbase pickups. A new dual rear wheel option called "Big Dooley" was introduced on one-ton pickups, along with a newCrew Caboption on the 164.5in (4,178mm) wheelbase. An optional Elimipitch camper was made available for the Big Dooley.[26]Crew Cabs were available in two versions: a "3+3" which seated up to six occupants and "bonus cab" which deleted the rear seat and added rear lockable storage in its place. Unlike theFord F-Serieshalf-Ton and quarter ton trucks of the time, the Chevrolet and GMC half-ton and quarter-ton (3/4 ton) C10s and C20s where not available with a extended cab model. However, Ford F-150s and F-250s (as well as F-350 1 ton) had an extended cab model called "supercab". Thefuel tankwas moved from the cab to the outside of the frame, and a dual tank option was available which brought fuel capacity to 40 US gallons. 1980 was the first year that a cassette tape player could be purchased, along with a CB radio.[27]

The Rounded-Line generation ultimately ran for a lengthy 15 model years (1973-1987) with the exception of the Crew Cab (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).
