Flareside cost

I sold my 72 highboy a year ago. Now I’m ready to get something else, I really like to find a flareside with a 4sd. Are they hard to find and expensive? Also if I find a short bed can I switch it over to a flareside? I saw a couple on market place, but they were in rough shape.

They are rarer but from what I see they're generally worth a little less. there was a nice step side long box f250 for sale forever they couldn't give it away. short boxes of course sell better.

not sure where you are at but there have been a few for sale around here forever but I don't see them now. I always assume everyone wants a 4x4 , do you ?

Yeah I’d like a 4x4. I live in Pittsburgh so everything around here is in bad shape. Thanks for your reply

Rust free ones pop up here and there here in the PNW if you're willing to ship one. if I see anything interesting I'll let you know.

In my opinion the $1000 ride would be money better spent than on rust repair but lots of folks seem to disagree.

Lol I don’t know why there upside down, not to good with computer stuff. Thank you for keeping an eye out for me. Are the frames the same on a short bed and flare side?
