Those who follow the classic car/truck market likely realize that the so-called “Square Bodies” are very popular. The term comes from the squared-off styling of the 1967 through 1987 Chevrolet/GMC pickups, what many consider to be the proper look for a pickup truck. In this realm, the preferred body type is a standard cab with a short bed, giving the pickup a stout, muscle truck vibe. Here we have a Square Body, specifically a 1981 GMC Sierra 1500 short bed. This short box GMC was originally a rock solid and well cared for state government vehicle that received a nice driver-quality restoration. Highlights include a new bed (it originally had a utility body), a steel cowl hood, new chrome trim, new bumpers, new taillights and various other components including the grille. A beautiful coat of Vibrant Red paint covers the arrow straight body, while factory 15-inch Rally wheels wearing Firestone radials round out the truck’s considerable curb appeal. Under that squared-off hood is a 350 V8 that replaced the original straight six. Equipped with an Edelbrock carb, headers and dual exhaust, the small block puts plenty of pep in this pickup’s step. A TH350 automatic transmission sends the power to the rear wheels via a 12-bolt differential. Power steering and power front disc brakes add to the enjoyment of driving the Sierra. Inside, the black and red theme looks great, as the restoration included the fitment of plush cloth two-tone upholstery with matching door panel trim. Everything is in excellent condition and feature highlights include billet shifter/turn signal/tilt stalks, tilt steering wheel, auxiliary gauges and an AM/FM/CD audio system. Out on the road, this head-turning pickup drives as good as it looks. If you're looking for a sharp looking and driving Square Body, then you’ll want to check this one out.
