Truck bed size question
I just sold my 1995 F150 SuperCab 4x4 and bought a 1998 F150 SuperCab 4x4. The bed, a styleside, is badly damaged from an accident. I will probably just replace the bed instead of repairing it. I kind of like the looks of the flareside beds better. I need to know if the cargo area of the flareside is smaller than the styleside or are they the same? Anyone willing to give me some measurements of the two beds? Are the outer panels of the flaresides fiberglass?
Thanks!
Thanks!

Yes, the space comes from SOMEWHERE to make flare sides. The stylesides are larger, but have the wheel wells in the middle. Flareside's wells are in the same place, but are flush with the bed, so all the space around the wells is lost.

Thanks for the responses. I had a '77 F150 Step Side once and I see the late model Flareside is just a renamed Step Side. The outer Flareside fender panels are fiberglass, right?

Thanks for the replies. Last week I lucked up and found a Styleside bed at a deal and it was even the right color so I don't even have to paint it!
