I sometimes call mine, aluminum can sides, when I find a dent.
We had this disscussion a while back. We couldn't decide then either.

Once called an unflattering "Courier look-a-like" by certain Ford ppl, because the front end mimiced the 1977 (1978/81) Courier design.

I like "Slotsides."
If you look down the side, there is sort of a "slot" right below the door handle that runs the length of the truck.

I have heard them refered to as the "Bull Nose" bodystyle... I usually refer to them as the 80-86 body style. The truth of the matter is the side body lines didn't change from 80-96, just the wheel openings, headlight, taillight, and grille design. I always called the 87-91 the "Square Nose" body, and the 92-96 the "Rounded Nose" bodystyle. To each their own I guess
