Square-body?

[Keith Seymore]

We were calling them squarebodies in high school 22 years ago, so I know it's been around at least that long.

What throws me is calling 88-98 "Old Body Style"

I guess anything with the word "new" or "old" in the name is bound to become outdated.

We never called 'em that.

They were C/Ks, then GMT400, then GMT800, then GMT900, then K2 and then T1.

Then I retired.

So - I was thinking about this further -

One of this things I've been accused of is claiming to be "everywhere" "all at once" back in the day. Obviously that's not the case, but I thought capturing a summary somewhere of all the stuff I worked on might be appropriate.

Here goes:

C/K:
Vehicle assembly (Flint) – Production supervisor
Engineering/assembly liaison
Development Engineering - Overall vehicle; Ride/Handling; Brakes; Noise and Vibration

GMT400:
Driveline Development
Brake Development

GMT800:
Design/Release – Engine air induction system
Program Level Engineering Management
.....2001 Denali
.....2002 Escalade
.....SUV Midcycle
.....Wrote engineering plan for original H2 (“Project Maria”)
.....2003 Pickup midcycle
.....2008 Hummer
.....2011 Volt

GMT900/K2/T1:
Design/Release Pickup Cab underbody structure and pickup box (and van underbody structure)

Design/Release:
Low volume production/show vehicle


Basically I didn’t do interior, and I didn’t do electrical. Anything mechanical (body/chassis/powertrain) I worked on.

And our '00 Burb is still using the stock airbox and duct, no aftermarket tube and cone filter for us
