No way to tell by the VIN. Ford builds the truck and MarkIII just does the conversion.

Hey Ben,

I've only ever seen a few flares, and they have always have been a standard cab.

I wish I could afford one, they have a high price tag to this day it seems......if it's because I'm not paying attention.......then i'm truly in need of rehab, a ford fan should never miss a beauty

Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr... I suppose I'll call this my "fake, butt-ugly" truck from now on.

I am a car purist. This is just my opinion. I am not saying your trucks are ugly, I am just saying it's not in keeping with what I think the Flareside trucks were supposed to be. I think it's a sin against the car gods for Dodge to have a 4-door Charger, too. Name it the Coronet and I've got no problem.

And just what exactly were the Flareside trucks "supposed" to be and how would you know this?

What about them isn't "real" enough for you?

Do you also disapprove of say a Chevy Vega with a Big Block because it's "not pure". How far does this mantra go with you?

Just curious.
