I'm new to this site, but I can't believe how much info is here. I've spent a lot of time reading through the old forum posts and keep seeing references to slicks, bumps and dents. I've figured out what they're talking about from the context but what's with this terminology?
Thanks

Slicks=61-66
Bumps=67-72
Dents=73-79
They are just body style nicknames

Re: Slicks, Bumps and Dents
No, that's not right,
the slick is under the truck, usually green, black or red but sometimes a mystery color...
the bump is on your head after the hood latch bites you while looking for the cause of the slick
the dent is what you do to the door after getting the bump on your head...
must keep things in perspective...

I don't want to give em a heart-attack. That is what would happen if I answered the door in the buff. Heck it almost scares me to death when I step out of the shower and look in the mirror.~Mancar1~
