IF you actually want to use it functionally (off road) you might put the flares on as you mentioend and cover the entire truck in herculiner bedliner or something similar. later
Just make sure not to get any Herculiner on your Hootus...someone here HAS to know what I'm talkin about...

Actually, for those who offroad an awful lot, the spray-on bedliner stuff is fantastic for the underside of the floorboards, the inner fender wells if they are metal, and the bottom portion of the fenders. Keeps rock chips to an absolute minimum.

The redneck points will double if you grow a mullet. Doesnt matter what ur driving as long as it aint an import, so good choice on the Ford. Get an old flatdeck trailer with 44s and put a Trans Am on top. Have both ur truck and Trans Am running at the same time (the smog keeps tailgaters back). Get as many badges off other cars (plenty available in parkying lots) and name your new redneck mobile the "Super Ford El Deloriac". Never get a towtruck: use a Deere - Dependable and green. Use the ditch as a passing lane. Finally, run the stupid kids with their designer trucker hats and john deere shirts that say cow tipping is possible over repeatedly. This legitimises your redneck personality and removes those useless and stupid wannabes from the eath. Good times all around.

i still dont get this whole idea of making a truck look like a redneck truck when the driver aint a redneck.

my trucks bed is filled with used spit bottles, empty cans of skoal, 2 carburetors, a roll of #9 wire and some random car parts that i ripped off my demo car(threw em away in the 8 foot garbage can)

but anyways, my truck is a redneck truck because im a redneck, not a poser.

Well, other than my homemade bumper, my crewcab doesn't fit the redneck theme we've all been poking a little harmless humor at.

I do wear a stetson and cowboy boots, even though I'm not a redneck. The brim goes all the way around the hat so in the rain, my glasses and my neck are always dry, and I find cowboy boots more comfortable than dress shoes, yet can pass enough for dress shoes for work.

I dunno, it just "is" I guess, but I'm not a redneck by any means. The only thing in the bed of my truck at the moment is a bedbox, and about a foot of snow LMAO

Make sure and use spray paint (can only/no primer) or a paint brush to coat the body. The best bet would be to use several shades of the same color (white, off-white, white pearl, and so on) but not the same color throughout. This will make it look special. I can't talk..my truck looks this way..I bought it like that..

actually I kinda like my new truck
extended cab eight foot bed with a tailgate net, straight piped, factory hub cabs witha coupe rims rolling round in the back that dont even fit the truck and a plastic gas tank in the bed from a jeep. the 351 really throws the rims into the net pretty hard but it holds up.

Forget painting it like Miss Daisy, just invite Catherine Bach for a ride in those shorts of hers. Oh, damn, wait, the 80's are over. heh-heh

Alright I laughed the minute I seen the title of this, but i have one that probably takes the cake. I was looking for a pickup a few years ago and my uncle had aquired one through an auction. He bought some land (he's a farmer, he bought some land and got what was on the land with it). I was looking for a 78 or 79 F-150, and he'd received a 1978 F-150 with a rebuilt 351-W and rebuilt C-6 (it was almost worth buying because of that alone, but read on and you'll see why i changed my mind). I don't mean to disrespect anyone who considers themselves a redneck or hick or whatever, but this had to be the greatest redneck pickup of all time. It had a fairly decent body with the exception of the gaping hole in the passenger side bedside and no chrome left. and the paint was even in fair condition, but it did have numerous scratches the entire length of the vehicle and a faded hood. It had nothing to speak of for a grill, and had a chip in the window where a piece of gravel nearly went through the entire windshield, and a crack that ran from top to bottom. Now it gets good, the bed was filled with beer cans, skoal cans, empty wire spools, various fencing tools, 2 broken shovels, empty jugs of herbicide, empty bottles of oil, a cows skull, twin and baling wire intertwined with everything, a few hand tools, the remains of a lawnmower engine, the remains of the old exhaust system, and underneath all this was a flat spare tire (i know this because i cleaned it out because i was working for my uncle at that point in time in Montana). Underneath the spare tire was a useless gooseneck hitch, and on top of the whole mess was a very beat up compressor wired to the batteey which was held down by twine, and in front of the compressor was a handmade toolbox filled primarily with beer cans and garbage. The compressor was there because the guy would rather put air in his tires then replace them. The frame was bent and the bed was twisted but the way they worked together it looked normal. On the rear window was the kid ****ing on the chevy emblem (didn't see that one in posted), and in the cab there was a poster explaining that the guy drank any damn beer (red beer, light beer, low carb beer, my beer, your beer, etc..) and a cowboy hat holder (didn't see that one either). It had a jurry-rigged tape player in it that didn't work, and was beat halfway through the dash, and the climate controls were nowhere to be found (just a hole in the dash). The cover for the drivers sid of the dash was MIA as well and none of the guages worked, the piece on the steering column that pointed out what gear the vehicle was in was gone and the sterring wheel was cracked. The horn didn't work, but the turn signals did the light in the guage cluster wouldn't flash for either one but they worked. It had glasspacks for the "new" exhaust, but it was still very loud, and to finish it off it had a 2" hitch welded to the frame and bumber. Now even though it wasn't four colors or nearly rusted through in every available body panel like many redneck pickups are characterized to be it was and still is in my mind the ultimate redneck ride. There were numerous other things wrong but I think I made got the message across.

OK noone here is more hick then us boys from texas. you need to do dual stacks going through the bed. home made steel bumpers with a steel tail gate. if there are holes in your seats duct tape em. dont worry about paint unless its camo. going muddin gets the truck scratched anyhow. cut out the wheel wells and grind it smooth no plastic on the truck. all metal. lift it as high as possible to eventually fit 48 in tires. my friend has a truck with 16in lift with 52's. you need truck nuts too. they help. wood panel the side of the bed and put speakers in the panels. and lots of lights. it would be a good idea to run a snorkel. it helps when you pull the truck in a pond to go fishin. definately do the stacks

You'll also need some bull horns

I'd bolt a set of bull horns to the front of the hood. They're a real crowd pleaser.
