Bumpside vs. Dentsides

I am looking at a 69 F250 in fair (repairable) shape. I have owned a 75 and 2 79s. My question is how different are the two trucks? What should I be on the lookout for in the 69?
Thanks in advance;
Greg

Not much different. Power brakes and steering were options on bumps, not standard. Other than looks, they're very similar trucks. Look at the front cab mounts on the 69. If they're rusted and gone like mine were then your cab is sitting lower than it should. They're repairable but you need to be a welder.

Frame rails are wider on the back of the dentsides', too- by about 3" if I'm not mistaken
