I have heard many nicknames for the different year trucks ,monkey face 48-50 manure spreader 51-52 , how many names are there and for what years?

 

Here's a couple of the top of my head


57- 60 - Refrigerators, fridge's, or orphans
67-72 - bump sides


Bobby

 

73-79 dent sides
53-55 slant cabs
56 "the Best ever"

 

'42-'47 jailbars
Mark

 

That cracked me up. You 56 guys are so full of yourselves.
You got that all stiff and upright a pillar. Nothing tops the laid back slant cabs.

 

I knew it wouldn't take long for someone to get after me for that comment

 

I was going to say the '53-'56s were "Effies" but after Bigwin's comment, I'm just going to say '53-'55s are "Effies".

(Just kidding. I really like the '56s too.)

 

'38, '39 'horse collars'

 

I thought those where whiskey barrels or is that wiskey??? Hmmm.
I love me a barrel nose truck.

 

It's hard to be humble ain't it, Kevin

 

If it hadn't been for the 48-42 Effies there wouldn't have been any 53 and up Effies

 

So.... will the new all aluminum body trucks be called beer cans ? just askin?

 

The original beer cans were light gauge ferric metal. Aluminum beer cans came later............Just like the trucks.

 

If you want cool you need a FRIDGE!

Just sayin!

 

sorry, here, on the east coast we never heard of any above mentioned, except
one; the 38 39 lemon suckers, and the 48-50 were eee ouuu's the errie
sound they whistled around 35 40 mph (the sound caused maybe by the
grill or crank hole, shroud, fan I don't know, but mine does it.......
