Extended cab vs. supercab

Allright, just making sure I have this straight. For '80-'86 trucks the cab and a half was a "supercab" and the double cab was the "Six man cab". Correct?

I got in an argument with a guy when I called a cab and a half a supercab, he insisted it was an extended cab, and I said it is now but wasn't then.

then crew cab is the newer term, since the double cab was originally called the six man cab.

Thanks.

i'm talking when they first came out. The ford double cab was a 6 man cab, the GM double cab was a 3+3, dunno about dodge, but crewcab is the new generic term.
