On this episode, Chris and Chris discuss how growing up around trucks spawned Chris Swenson's passion for collecting and restoring Ford trucks and eventually sharing his fondness for the "Bumpside" generation with the world. They also run through all the Ford generations and the origination of their nicknames.
Ford trucks are known for their generational nicknames, but the fifth generation 1967 - 1972 Ford F-Series are known for their unique three-dimensional spear or "bump" that runs from the front fender all the way back through the bedside. Coined "Bumpsides" by enthusiasts, this generation powered to the pinnacle of American pickup production and popularity with more engine choices, a larger and more comfortable cab and more aesthetically pleasing styling.
Chris launched @bumpin_uglys, an Instagram account dedicated to "Bumpsides", that eventually grew a massive following of enthusiasts. That following is what made Chris Swenson the Bumpside aficionado.
