Why are Ford trucks called bumps?

Re: Why are the trucks call bump But all of the 67-72 Ford trucks have the BUMP that is under your trim. That is why this model is called a Bumpside, or Bump. The earlier model is called a Slick, while the later model is called a Dentside or Dent because they have a "dent" where our Bump is 100% FORDified!

Beside this, what is a bump truck?

Introduced to Queensland roads in the late 1990s, bump trucks are highly visible roadwork trucks with a specially designed attenuator mounted to the rear, which acts like a spring cushion to reduce the impact of rear-end collisions.

Subsequently, question is, what is a Dentside Ford? The "indentation" that runs along the body side of the 73-79's refers to the "dentside" As a counterpart the 67-72's have a "bump" that run the length of the body Hence the terminology.

"Bullnose" refers specifically to the 1980 - 1986 Ford F-Series trucks and broncos. The nickname comes from the shape of the front of the truck: Look at a bull's face and head. Notice how a bull's eyes slant back from its face toward its head, and the nose is pushed forward.
