Here's a challenge I thought would be fun. Can you spot this bumpside in this vintage photograph?
I love looking at old photos of what we now know as classic cars and trucks back when they were common or new. If you have or find any vintage photos of parking lots or street scenes with bumpsides in them, please post them in this thread. Kind of like a "where's waldo" but for our trucks.

The Bump is the solid blue truck in the center top of the pic. The green & the yellow/white are both Chevy/GMC trucks. The blue/white 1 is either a Chevy or a Dent. The more I look at the blue/white truck the more I think it a Chevy/GMC. The blue truck in the left top is a Chevrolet. I can not ID the stakebed behind the flags. It also looks like there is a nose of something peeking out from behind the cabover just to the right of the green truck & a white truck to the right. I can't see the window shape well enough to tell whet type the white truck is but guessing Chevy/GMC since the window is so large. Gotta love those old IH Travelalls. The put a Suburban to shame when it came to interior room.

It cant be a dent... the photograph was taken in 72.
Yeah, I found the same blue bump without looking at any other answers...
Okay, everyone is doing good so far. I'm going to up the ante. Here's 4 photos. Try to find the bumpside in each . Varying levels of difficulty. Post your answers in replies with the picture #.
Photo 1
Photo 2
Photo 3
Photo 4
One of these photos has at least 2 bumpsides in it that are clearly visible.
Good luck!

Photo 1 - Just about center near the top. A 2 tone truck running across the picture
Photo 2 - Red that has a cabover conversion
Photo 3 - Yellow truck pulling through the toll booth/parking attendant, straight up to the diagonal rows parked & slightly to the left is 1 sitting on the front of the row with a cap on it.
Photo 4 - The one right behind the Caprice that has been cut off into an El Camino
elgemcdlf, you got them all! Good job. I didn't actually see the second bump in the photo #3, so you must have really sharp eyes. The second bump I was hinting at is the 2 tone green & white 4x4 bump in the snow picture(behind a red jeep in the lower left corner).
Here's an easy one:
My question is "are there 2 bumpsides in this picture or just one?" Notice the hood emblems and cabs.

I wasn't sure about the green truck. Kinda looked like it had round wheel wells which would indicate GM. Great question. The big truck is a bump cab & hood. I do not remember if the doors are the same as the smaller trucks or not but I do believe so. When I was playing with the idea of doing a CC I was told to grab 1 from a larger truck as they are the same & more plentiful. In the last few yrs both Ford & GM has been building personal trucks from the big truck chassis/design. Taking a C60 & putting a pickup bed on it. I have thought about getting a F600 or so CC & doing the same thing. Possibly 4x4 & making it sit up a bit.
My wife & I play this game when out driving. She will ask me "what is that?" while I am driving so I only get a brief chance to see it & respond. Difference is the vehicle could be anything from any year.
