Funny thing that its only 68-72 long beds that have that curve, All shortbeds, 1967 longbeds, all Blazers and Suburbans do not.
Thinking about it... I guess they had to remake/modify the stamps in 68 anyway for the federal turn signal requirement and made the change then... but again... as we've talked about, EVERY other model was "square" so why go to "round" for just the longbeds/longhorns?
