This is just straight up
wrong. I don't know where this idea that OEMs don't do aerodynamic development on trucks/SUVs/vehicles that the public perceives to be "unaerodynamic" comes from, but it isn't true.
I have several papers on the aerodynamic development of various pickup trucks, and while this generation GMC/Chevrolet trucks isn't among them, the development of the 1988 C/K is. The paper is quite long and detailed; it overviews not just the optimization of the 1988 model but has quite a bit of information on the development of the two previous generations of full-size Chevrolet trucks.
