darksider monkey face w/bad teeth
I cant take it any more! i read these threads and i cant figure out what a darksider is. i think a monkey face is a 48? whats bad teeth? a 56 grill? what about big hips? i know my 60 is known as a orphan, but what does the rest of this stuff mean. i cant be the only one that needs help with this old truck slang.

Darkside = heavily modified truck
Monkey face = '48 - '50, for obvious reasons
Bucktooth = manure spreader = '51-'52 for reasons unknown ??
Big hips = Kim Kardashian

Darksider...anything besides completely stock. like my truck
Monkeyface...1948-1950 ford pickup, referring to the grill looking like a monkeys face! again...look at my truck
bad teeth? maybe referring to 53-56 grill or front end? they had these pieces that looked like teeth?
big hips, you may be confusing that one with another website
those websites I hear can make ya go blind so...

Scott - you've got to click on the descriptions to see the pics.
I can't believe Bob hasn't been here yet to sing the praises of his monkeys and to hammer our buck toothed manure spreaders. Probably playing with some new graphic to zing us with. Stu

57-60's aren't orphans, they're refrigerator trucks. Or Kelvinator's.....
never heard "bad" teeth, think you mean "buckteeth"
big hips? I'd call that all of the 48-56 trucks with rear fenders sticking outside the box.

Sorry Stu, I've been busy. I just checked in.
To answer the question about the Monkey Face and Manure grill references:
I saw the "Monkey Face" reference on the HAMB a while back and even though I am devotee of the '48-50 model I thought it was an appropriate moniker.
As for the "Manure Spreader" reference, that came from my wife who's a farm girl. She says the '51-52 grill looks like the beaters on a manure spreader, which I happen to agree with.
