flares
the flares in your pictures look exactly like the ones on my truck now. they are BushWacker OE style flares, and extend one and a half inches from the fenders.I had mine painted to match the lower half of my truck and they provide great protection from stone chips and mud from the front tires. Look at my gallery to see pics if you want.

danman979, I thought they looked like Bushwacker OE as well, but yours look like they have more lip than mine. Above the angle change yours looks like it curls out slightly to make the lower part stick out more, while mine is a smoother contour. See what I mean? I'm thinking EGR still...

cartmanea,
Looking at the photos you posted they sure look like a perfect fit. I might lean towards a Ford OEM. The only thing that makes me think that they are maybe not Ford OEM is the screws are not painted and I would think Ford would paint over them or at least touch them up after installation. Any chance you can maybe find a part number on one them? Might be worth a try if you haven't already.

I'll cross that bridge when I get there, but I'd like to get just one if possible. They are usually sold in pairs, but hopefully I can get one direct from the company.
ATS replied by email and confirmed they aren't theirs.
I think its gotta be EGR, Bushwacker OE, or Ford OEM.

flares
You maybe right thinking EGR, but the back ones sure look like mine. How are they mounted to the fenders? Mine screw into a clip that slides on to the lip of the wheel well so that no drilling holes are required. It works well and dont vibrate or make noise even on gravel roads, but I have to take them off every spring time to clean behind them or the fenders would rust out in no time. When I bought mine they were sold as a complete set of 4 flares. I hope you get it all figured out. Thats a nice truck you got and you should get alot of miles out of it.
