"Bull nose", "Brick nose" and "OBS" are the nick names people use to differentiate between the three slight differences in the '80 - '96/7 years.
It's easy to remember which is which.
The '80 - '86 trucks have hard, sharp corners, like a brick. So that's the bull nose.
The '87 - '91 trucks are still pretty blocky, but with more smoothed corners , so they look more like a blocky animal, like a bull. So that's the brick nose.
And the '92 - '96/7 are the newest body style of the group, so that's the OBS (which stands for Old Body Style).
See, simple!

I've never heard any of them (although I have heard the full words "old body style") I've only read them on this site. It's jargon.

IIRC I'm pretty sure that he actually built them himself.

I see you have the Jasper E4OD Tranny. Word from a local shop installer for Jasper products is that they have a modified and much improved Torque Converter that put in their re-manufactured units that solved major ills with that tranny.
. And I have got to find a license plate like that.

And it only has about 12,000 miles on it so far.
