Yep. Nobody who know anything about classic trucks is going to call a 67-72 Chevy a squarebody.

What's consistent the public's severe dumbing down of late for 1K Alex? Just kidding, sorta, they probably figure a tailgate is square
Not a good day to be addressing such questions

 Back on Earth, that rig of yours is beautiful. Back to the party, I was thinking seems there are just two OEM items on my truck that are square, a pair of cab shims. The carb is mostly square though; a gray area, often written as grey.Wait, those cab shims are clearly for the body, so, the unedgucated are actually right.
