Talking my thoughts on the "body style" argument...

Im sorry but i cant stand to call my truck a nnbs cuz fact of the matter is my truck is the current and newest body style, so for arguments sake its a nbs ... but to not create confusion with the ppl that see other wise i will now refer to 07 & up trucks as cbs or current body style and 99-07classic as pbs or previous body style and they can be swapped accordingly every style change thank you for listening to my rant and feel free to use my new abbreviations... lol!

Why the **** don't we just use the platform designations?

Once you know which is which, there's no way to confuse those. Ever. No gray area.

Ive been wondering when that would change...I do like the fact that my 02 is considered a new body style, when in fact its 2 generations behind

why not just call it by the year, and if you have a classic just subtract 1, ie 2007 classic = 2006

I do that when I get parts for mine. Telling them an 07 get me everything for a new body truck instead of my old body.
