Stepside anyone?

I don't see much on the stepsides around here. What gives? Am I the only one who owns one or what? Maybe they are not considered real trucks or something? No offense intended. But I sure would like to hear from some Flareside owners. Maybe see some pics and get some ideas. I been workin on mine lately and need some motivation to keep up the momentum.


XOXOXOXOXO

I think the old flaresides are very cool! I own a 92 F150 flareside. Here are some pics to help keep you motivated to work on your truck:

Its not that no one here likes them,its that they were produced in lower numbers than stylesides. Depending on year/model Ford produced typically between 10 and 40 stylesides for every one flareside. up until the 1950's flareside/stepside trucks were the norm,from the late 50's on,styleside/fleetside bed models gained popularity almost yearly........

Nice truck Dave T.. Something about that blue and white together, I like it. I now have pics. in my gallery. I don't think anyone will envy me. I gotta lot of work to do yet. I've almost got it running. Found out you can't put the starter on after the right header and you can't put the header on after the starter. Looks like I gotta unbolt an engine mount and roll the engine up to install. I'll have the exhaust done by Tues. I hope. Nothing new, just pulled the crap exhaust and cut it up and rebent some pieces. I sometimes miss (not entirely) driving a POS rig that I constantly have to mess with to keep running. Can't wait to drive it!
