back a few years ago when i was reading truckin they would refer to the gm trucks as this

73-87: "box body"
88-98: "classic body style"
99-02 : "new body style", 03s hadnt come out yet, thats how long ago it was

now with the 07s just come out most are calling it the 07s+ are the new new body style(NNBS) but i kinda wonder what it will be in a few years

It prolly won't be **** because our trucks will lose their ***** and turn into a small car with gas at $6 gal. and emissions regs. But I hope I'm wrong. Maybe go back to: NBS (for New Bull ****), like the black boxes to tell if you were speeding or scratching your *** when you ran off the road Just glad I got mine before the DOD and other crap started

All I know is that there is almost no such thing as "late model" anymore.
