Through my research I have found that fewer Flaresides were built compared to Stylesides. I have a 1964 F100 Flareside. Can anyone tell me if the Flareside is more desirable to own over the Styleside? I think they just look cooler. I would think that because the numbers are low it would be worth a little more.

thanks, Gary

 

I think it is more of a personal preference than anything else.
If I were looking for one that would be the last thing that would make or break a deal. I think they are both look good an a nice truck.

 

First and foremost, if I have not already done so, I would like to take this opportunity to welcome you to FTE.

Have not seen any stat's, or poles on the topic, my impression is the stylesides may be slightly favored over the flareside and may have a better resale value. Have a 65 short bed flareside, and a 65 long bed styleside and don't prefer one over the other. Replacement sheet metal and bed components are still available for the flareside; whereas, I have not seen any for the styleside.

 

Welcome to FTE

Here are the 1964 production figures.

F100 2WD Flareside Pickup = 28,876

F100 4WD Flareside Pickup = 804

F100 2WD Styleside Pickup = 152,272

F100 4WD Styleside Pickup = 2,922

 

Evidently the Styleside was more desireable when new.
I wonder what the price difference was.

 

Hi When you give these numbers are they in all of North America or just state side? Was there even a Ford Canada and Ford US back then(I don't know)?

Thanks Darcy

 

Welcome to FTE

These are US/Canadian production figures.

The Canadian assembly plant is located in Ontario.

There was no Mexican assembly plant till 1989.
