I need some help

I need to know if anyone has a flip kit in the rear of their slick with a c notch and you have a flare side bed. I like the flaresides, but I cant picture what one lowered about 4 inches looks like.
I lost the fleetside bed I finally found to someone else, so now my options in good old rust bucket Michigan are nil on another one. I could probably try to make fiberglass sides, but with my schedule lately, that would take me 10 years.
I can modify just about any flareside from the era, but I want to know about how it would look first with a flareside.

Thanks

Short flare will look good lowered. even better use a 80 to 96 short flare........

You will need to watch the backspace on the wheels and the inner bed side. You can add early type inner wells..

To bad you are not closer i have a decent (fixable) short wide here in AZ.
