My flareside

Here's my 5.0L flareside, still doing a few things to it, but I figured id show her a little.



Any feedback?

Looks great, what size are your tires? Is that a functional hood scoop? I like the cab light set up too, I went back and forth on mine whether I wanted the 5 equally spaced or the 1 3 1 setup.....I like both. I LOVE the body styles of our trucks, and a lifted stepside/flareside always looks good! Any engine/drivetrain mods?

Theyre 33" trail cutters, but tomorrow im ordering 35" mickey thompson baja claws. Unfornately, the hood scoop is just cosmetic. Although its a carbureated 302, not efi like most. Its a new 302 engine from a mustang, so low miles, i have true dual flowmaster exhaust, and its a 5 speed too

Nice! How wide are they.... I think you'll like the Baja Claws as long as you don't mind the road noise....rode with a buddy who had a set on his Toyota 4Runner, and oooh buddy they whined at speed.

Good work, keep her up and she'll run forever

Great looking truck man, but are you sure those are only 33s? They sure look like 35s to me...

My buddys truck with 35x12.5 for comparison:



And my old truck on 33x12.5s

Thats a cool truck. I have not seen a flareside bed with the 87-91 front end before. The flareside bed must be off of a 92-96.

Yup the box is off a newer truck. Ford did offer a flareside in 87, but it was the old style box, with a wooden floor and the unique tailgate.
