Flareside = to me.

But I can appreciate a unique, clean OBS.

My neighbor asked me if I was going the cheap route for clearance on 44" tires.

Rest assured, I'm not 100% sold on how its gonna look. The truck is a CLEAN truck and the box rust was driving me nuts. I'll have less in then Flareside box, paint and Line-X than they want for a rust-free Fleetside around here, I figured I might as well give it a shot.

Well NeXguy let's go, hurry up. Some of us are very impatient. You can't wave your magical tools and it's done. Can't wait to see it done.

I'm interested to see how this turns out... Although I don't think it would look as good as a crew cab long box flareside. lol

I don't necessarily like flaresides in general, but I like that it's unique.
