The local junkyards up here want $400 for a "rough" flareside bed with no tailgate.
For $450 I bought a wrecked 92 6cyl 4-speed manual Flareside and put the bed on my 94 4x Sport with a 4.9 and 5-speed.
I've only seen 3 around where I live....ones the exact same color as the wrecked one I got, ones black, and ones a dark pink extended cab....
Mines the only one with F-150 still on the fenders and custom spray painted pin stripes, to blend the gray on the bottom of the bed and the 3 gray stripes on the cab. Lucky me they were the same color red.
The roll pan is for a 97-up ford that I cut to fit and fiberglassed in, but tore it off backing into a snowbank, so it DID look good...

That's exactly what the wrecked truck was, save for the auto.

I saw that one. the Lightening was faster stock, but I didn't get to see the show where they fixed both the SS and Lightening up and did the dyno and track stuff again.

Here is my 1993 Flareside 302/e4OD automatic. Soon to be 351w. I'm kinda leaning towards turning it into a lightning performance wise. Just a little at a time.
sorry for poor graphics, took it with my cell phone one day as I was leaving work. Its also gonna get repainted before winter. I'm thinking a darker shade of blue. Gonna get a visor for it first.

I just sold my 93 Flareside 4x4 last fall. It was white with gray trim on the bottom and gray interior. It was loaded with all power options, and it had a 5.0 and a 5 spd. I bought it with only 74,000 on it for $6k, and sold it a year and a half later for $4,750 with still only 92,000 on it. It was a nice truck, but a little too light duty for me. I replace it with an F250.
