Finally got the dentside/bumpside answer

Well I finally figured out on my own what y'all been sayin bout dentside and bumpside. Y'all been talkin bout the channel down the length of the side of the truck. God I feel so stupid not to have figured it out til now. Was reading a post bout Cal emission trucks and a hole on the cylinder head that had to be plugged up and there was mention of 75 bumpside so there you have it. Well it wasn't important but it would have drove me insane just to find out, that and I didn't want to ask because I like to answer the little voices in my head. ;[/]

I don't use either term, but to each their own!

Dat was me in the other thread talking about 75 and earlier being smog-exempt in CA. .. not a reference to a 75 bump.

Just to clarify, I stated I might have to resort to a make a bumpside crewcab only cuz I can get one cheap ($650) at the moment. Bumps also seem to cost less on the average than dents.

I can only guess but that theory would be true but you can always get someone not wanting to part with or just damn greedy. Well regardless of year just the realization of the meaning and what it actually looks like are all that mattered to me at the time, thanks!
