How many of us have flaresides? Let's see 'em. Heck even if you've come across a picture of a nice one, let's see it!

 

Does look pretty nice, and if you're a fan of the 8' flaresides, you ain't gonna get too many chances from what I hear. Ain't too common.

 

Hey Guys,

I have been a member of fte for a while but usually stay in the 97-03 forums. I just come across a 1979 f150 4x4 with a 400 and manual tranny. It has been sitting for about three years but i got it running again and it runs great. I have the usual electrical issues and a rusted out freeze plug to deal with but its coming together. heres a pic let me know what you think

 

Thats awesome!

 

Yeah it is

 

sweet truck man, should throw more pictures into your gallery

 

I will try to take some more pics this weekend if i get around to working on the old truck.

 

Here's my 2wd . . . . . in different stages.

 

Heres my 77, shes a little rough, but I found a parts truck with a few straight panels I need, and should should be heading to paint when I get my nice old government rebate check! But anyway, the price was right, paid $750 for it, and Ive put about another $200 in it fixing some mechanical.

 

rickh51, nice truck!!!

I'm in the chicago area too !

 

you paid $750 for THAT!!!!!!!!! nice deal! I just bought mine for $1520 for mine. Trade you straight across? lol

 

That's one sweet 2wd Rick! What's under the hood?

 

Thanks Highboy. It's a warmed-over 302, .030 over, Edelbrock aluminum heads, headers, Comp cam, roller rockers, 2 450 Holleys on a Weiand Tunnel-Ram.

 

Nice trucks there guys..........Flaresides are awesome. You don't see many of them around, at least I don't.

 

Flaresides are shortbeds right?
if so heres one!






1973 F-250 flareside long bed, ALL original with 28,000 original miles. There are no dents or rust on the truck. Only 2 owners. This truck has always been kept inside. It was previously used by a fire department for field fires. Tailgate was never put on.
