I'm just impressed at how thick the sheet metal is on these older trucks. I have a 73 D100 I'm using as a parts truck for a restore. Enough left on the truck to use it as a field truck. I was loading old fence rails into the bed today, just throwing them in, bouncing of the side of the bed. not one ding or dent. I look at my 2015 Ram sideways and the body dings/dents. I forgot how sturdy the bodies on these oldies really were

I have had 6 other Dodge pickups and one Jeep. In all those years I've never had acorn dents until this year with my 2012. Around 2200$ worth.
