Default "-Body" designation question

Does anyone here know or have a list of all the GM designations for the various model cars and what their in-house name is. Obviously I'm aware of the firebird/camaro platform as the F-body and the vettes are Y-body, I'm also told that Impala/Caprice are B-body, but I don't know any others.

every body line (vehicle) has a designation, it would take a very long time to list them all...
