Why it's nice to have a bed cover:




And back in the day when the truck was smaller (BFG ATs don't throw as much mud):

I'd sell the stocker flares and buy some bigger Bushwackers (or similar) and keep those black.

Hey DC, I have an 03 f350 and want them little flares that are stock on the 05-07 super duties, OEM, are they the ones you have or do you have an aftermarket small flare? if they are the OEM ones could you tell me where you got them, my buddys dad word for ford and he told me I couldn't buy them through ford....thanks for your help, an NICE LOOKING RIG!!! The flares look good both ways, matching the rims and matches paint, touch choice!

The are OEM...off of a customer's 05. He went with pocket flares so I took them in trade for some shock clamps that he was buying off of me.

I have another set of OEM off of an 07 too. Take offs that I bought from someone who put Pocket flares on a truck.

You can buy them from the dealer...but they are $600+ for all 4 the last time I checked.

I sold the black ones.
Not sure if I'm going to put the others on my 07 or not. Decided not to put any on my 01.

Paint them blue, you already have the nice black contrast with the wheels.

Another vote for painted blue. I'm with the crowd that says the contrast isn't enough (blue body, black fenders). Like others have said, if it was a white or red truck, black would look great.

If you had more black on the outside body of the truck (like the red one you posted pics of), i think the black would look good. But as your truck is, I vote for the painted blue ones.

Either way you go, that is a sharp truck and it will still look sharp in the end.
