Fleetside or Dentside?
So, my new '77 F100 2wd is a SWB dentside and Im thinking of swapping it for a Fleetside. I just can't make up my mind. I want to know all of your opinions...

They're called "dentsides" because there is a factory "dent" in the body on both sides that runs the length of the trucks. The previous generation ('68 to '72) are referred to as "bump sides" because the very same spot that "dents" in "bumps" out on those years.
