Does that make a 73-79 a "dent side" ![Very Happy :D](./images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif)

67-72 parts are more expensive than 73-79. You sometimes pay dearly for that bump. Kind of like getting a bump to the head

? "un- bump" ? 73-79 have yet to be given a "term of endearment"

Hey watch it I have a soft spot for the 73-79's now. I used to dislike them and said I'd never own one but I do like them alot for some reason now.( might be becasue of the 77 crew in the garage). But to answer the question I kinda like dipsides?

I don't want to give em a heart-attack. That is what would happen if I answered the door in the buff. Heck it almost scares me to death when I step out of the shower and look in the mirror.~Mancar1~

I always called the 73 to 79 a sink side. I dont know if thats right or not just what I called them. Oh and I love them as they make real good donor trucks, I have one to,
or whats left of it. Charles

re: so, if a 67-72 is a bumpside...
"73-79 has the 'groove' or 'channel' on the sides", is how I try to describe the body style to people who are not truck-aware. And that they dont have the drip rail on the roof, which is their best feature.
The bumpsides are better looking, but the 73-79 is a poor cousin.![Laughing :lol:](./images/smilies/icon_laughing01.gif)

They still have the driprail over the door areas, just not in the front and back of the cab. ![Wink :wink:](./images/smilies/icon_wink.gif)

I was kind of wondering the same thing, for all the series. 67-72 are Bumpsides, the series before (is it 61-66?) are Slicksides/Slicks, older trucks get called Effies, but I'm not sure how old they have to be to qualify. What else is there?
