driving the black beauty
I try to drinve mine to a store or take the wife out 1-4 times a month until car show time, then it drives to the shows. But I dont let it sit longer than 2 weeks w/o at least starting it up.

Dentside refers to the shape of the body. Note the "dent" that runs along the sides. This is only on the 73-79 trucks. Note earlier models are called "bump"sides because that same area is actually bumped out. Each generation has it's own term of love attached to it..

Although the Wikipedia site doesn't talk about the nicknames, they have some decent pictures for reference...
