It is hip to be square in Nebraska this weekend.

 A huge collection of General Motors "Square Body" trucks is being auctioned in Grand Island, Nebraska on June 25.

Square Body is the nickname for GM's 1973 to 1987 full-size truck line, which covered a range of Chevrolet and GMC pickups and SUVs.

The "100 Square Body Auction" was the brainchild of Todd Carpenter who runs the Big Fish Garage custom truck shop, which specializes in the model.

He said his first vehicle in high school was a 1975 Chevy K5 Blazer, and he has loved the style ever since.

Carpenter told Fox News Autos he had collected about 70 of the trucks over the past decade and decided it was time to let some of them go so that other people could enjoy them. However, he will be keeping the K5 that he still owns.

They all run, but are in various states of condition ranging from mint to rusted out. There are several standout models among them, however, including a one of a kind 1976 Chevrolet K10 Scottsdale Spirit of '76 pickup.

Chevrolet only built 500 of the trucks to celebrate the U.S. Bicentennial, most of them white, but Carpenter's is a unique blue 4x4 that includes the Scottsdale's Bonanza equipment and trim package.
