eLMeR ◊ 2015-03-24 11:20	No 4WD: C-Series model, with the Wide-Side bed option. -- Last edit: 2015-03-24 11:22:34
Ford_Guy ◊ 2015-03-25 00:18	It's just "Wideside."
eLMeR ◊ 2015-03-25 22:11	Only from 1977 onwards It was written Wide-Side from 1958 to 1976: (1958 ad. Click...) (1962 & 1976 brochure) (1977 & 1979 brochure) -- Last edit: 2015-03-25 22:15:26
Ford_Guy ◊ 2015-03-26 05:14	You can see the term "Wideside" used in the text here: It's confusing. Both seemed to have been used. I almost just want to go with consistency. -- Last edit: 2015-03-26 05:16:11
eLMeR ◊ 2015-03-27 02:01	Which model-year is the pickup depicted in this brochure/ad? Is it the 1973-74 fender emblem? I never saw it written that way before "playing" with the 1977+ models What should we prefer? Consistency or accuracy? If accuracy, then few models will need to be changed, as it seems to have been written this way only for 1973+ trucks. Another possibility would be to say that 1973+ C/K-Series have all the single-word writing? I'm not really fan of that kind of things, but as long as we all do it the same way... -- Last edit: 2015-03-27 02:11:39
Ford_Guy ◊ 2015-03-28 06:07	That's from a 1974 MY brochure. Your question isn't really fair. To label it as "Wideside" could be both consistent and accurate. After all, if it's written just as one word on a part of the brochure, wouldn't it be considered accurate as well?
eLMeR ◊ 2015-03-30 06:09	The only brochure I found using the one-word writing is this Canadian 1973 one (it says General Motors of Canada - Printed in Canada at the bottom of the last page). Is the one you used a US or a Canadian issue? How is it written in other pre-77 brochures you can find? If seen just in non-US brochures, couldn't it be just a Canadian specific writing? It doesn't help, but this 1976 Canadian brochure also use the 2-word writing As far as I know, it is always written with an hyphen in all US pre-77 literature I found (oldcarbrochure, autolit, paintref). So my question is fair, I think: will it be accurate to write it in a single word for pre-1977 models if all illustrations of these models show the 2-word writing, except in some Canadians brochures?
Ford_Guy ◊ 2015-03-31 05:58	The best route to take would indeed be to label all pre-77 GMC pick up trucks with standard beds as "Wide-Side."
