Auto World has been the premier manufacturer of Chevrolet Square Body diecast vehicles. The third-generation C/K was introduced for the 1973 model year. The C10, Cheyenne, Silverado, Scottsdale, Bonanza, and Custom Deluxe are all trim levels of the Chevrolet Square Body trucks from 1973-1991. These trucks were relatively straight-lined and boxy in appearance leading to their “Square body” nickname.
In the diecast community, the Square Body trucks were quickly a hit, and saw many releases from Auto World, and M2 Machines starting in 2019.
Auto World diecast has made very authentic replicas of the various Square Body styles, including fleet side and stepside, lowered, lifted, patina styled, restored, and stock replicas.
Myself as a collector, I run for these as they’re released, often ordering them directly from Auto World Store, or Surplus Goodies. The Square Bodies often disappear quickly from the pegs, and command higher prices in the secondary market. As a result, these become high priority when they appear. There are also Ultra Red versions, and even Ultra Raw versions of most releases.
To complete your collection, here is a running checklist for handy reference: (information courtesy of awcollector.com)
