They really aren't the prettiest are they? Funny how just 2' of length turns something from desirable to wouldn't touch that. Since it is has been so hard to come across and still is around is part of the appeal to it. Keep up the work on getting these back on the road. Thank you for preserving a piece of the Blue Oval legacy.

If someone were to find one in rougher shape I think it would look cool if someone lowered and/chopped it for a street rod or rat rod.

Call me weird...but I've always liked the look of a flareside longbed, but only on a 4wd.

I wants me a hiboy flareside bad!

Good looking truck. I always thought the short flare sides looked nice too.
