Question

??? BUMPSIDE/DENTSIDE ???

Gentlemen-

I am fairly new here and was wondering the terms bumpside/dentside you are using to describe PU bodies.

FORD calls then Flareside and Styleside.

Can you enlighten me as to your secret codes/handshakes?

I prefer Dents.

My first truck was A 77 F100 regular cab short box.

Then the 1980 and up trucks were called bullnose. Styleside and Flareside refers to whether it's a stepside or conventional bedside.
