Custom cab or ext. cab w/ flareside
Tried to put a pic together with no luck. I have a 79 F-350 single cab long bed. The question is either to shorten the frame for the flareside. or drop an extended cab on and flareside. Im not sure how the bed will look with an extended cab tho. i dont want it to look like the megacabs or 4dr short beds. those things are rediculously ugly. I need a cab either way i go so that doesnt matter. Mostly worried about what it would look like. If someone is handy with photo shop that would be handy. but i just cant quite picture it. The extra room inside would be a plus. Help me decide plz.
THanks guys

PS if it helps ya to picture it, it has 6" lift and 35x12.5x17s on it. and bright red.

I think that's a rare setup.I've seen plenty 80-96 Supercab Flaresides,but I rarely see any 73-79 Supercabs.I think it would look fine.

Hey, could you post some pics of it from the side, I don't have photoshop, but I am good with paint. Post up some side pics of your truck along with pics of both a supercab and a flareside bed, I'll see what I can come up with.

here you go dude. this is about what your looking for. I'm decent at Photoshop, but not this good. I found this a while ago in someone's gallery. I think the guy said that he had this bed lying around instead of buying a styleside. hope this isn't too late.
I give a second on that paint pic. make sure that the pic is a JPEG.

Why shorten the frame for the flareside? Just put a 8' flareside long bed on it.
Would be much simpler.

Maybe simpler, but he may be having a hard time finding an 8' flareside. I have only seen a few, most have been on this site, or has been a chevy 8' stepside. Which I have seen those in person, but who would want chevy stuff on a ford?? Not "I".

Thanks for the post Doc! Can you format a pic to change what type of file it is? I tried to upload it to my gallery. I can try going thru photobucket and see if that works
Im not shortening the frame, thats why im finding an extended cab. I have a single cab long bed. So extended cab short bed = the same wheel base. I dunno if i really dig the look tho. Lemme know what you guys think, yay or nay. Picture it red with not quite so much lift, and without those fugly mirrors lol.
