I'm surprised, too. I guess on concrete hiways it's about the spacing of the expansion joints

Since we don't have a vintage pictures thread for these trucks (Do we?), here are some cheater shots of the '95 Chevy and '92 GMC. Cheater meaning just a blip of truck shown. All threes a good 20-25 years ago. Two on the job and one on vacation

To me, no mention of cab should be needed, it's just a cab. I just add extended cab or crew cab when referring to those trucks.

Here is a sharp '92 Sportside. The only thing I might add would be a diesel bumper for an added touch of aggressive.

To my eyes it needs an airdam first and foremost. Otherwise it's pretty much perfect.
