Saw this old 1969 workhorse last weekend up in Pigeon Forge. 39 Years and still going strong. Looked to have a 300ci, PS, PB.

Here is a pick from this site. The bump (on the left) has the "bump" or convex and the dentside (on the right) is concave.

Hope that helps.

Something about this pic just doesn't jive for me. I mean, not to be judgemental here, but I usually don't think the kind of guy to live in a new-construction McMansion would be a Bump owner. His wife would call it unsightly and what would the neighbors think?

This isn't in my town, but I did catch this last fall in the little town of Three Springs, PA. Saw another Bump and a few Dents on that trip but I didn't get any other pictures.

There's two housed there and they are not very big, probably one step above a new starter home. The owner stored his travel trailer at a lot next to where I used to work. I have seen the truck there several times over a 2-3 year period.

Yes Max, you are being judgemental. :wink:
