Sweptline, Sweptside, Utiline...?

Can somebody explain what exactly identifies a Swetpline, Sweptside, or Utiline? I thought I was getting it figured out, but now I'm confused again. I can't find this discussed or written down anywhere!

MoparNorm's dodgesweptline.org site says it's only for 61-71 trucks, yet Sweptlines were introduced in 1956, right? And they're not limited to 2wd or 4wd so I'm assuming it's the body style, but what exactly defines it? And how does Sweptside and Utiline relate to Sweptline?

Aaaargh! I can't be the only one confused by this! I do understand the difference between W300M and WM300 but this is driving me nuts!
