Talking Dentsides???

Why are our trucks called "DENTSIDES"??? I'm a body man, and that sounds bad to me, but maybe I'm over reacting. Makes it sound like a piece of s**t. lol

It's in refeference to the indentation that runs the length of the body, hence the slang term "dentside".

our earlier 67-72 cousins are referred to as "bumpsides" because of the protrusion that runs the length of the body.
