I think the your Flareside looks great, broncoderek, very nice truck. My truck looks identical to yours but it is an extended cab with a regular short bed and a fifth wheel tailgate. Seeing as your from Mass I might see you.

none of them are rare from what ive seen, plenty of markIII's running around,you just have to look a little closer, and we have three x-cabs right here in my town.....

they were simple cosmetic conversions, nothing special about them except the trim level

the dealer/owners will tell you that the trim level means its worth more when they are trying to sell it......but in the same breath tell you that it wont add anything to the value if your trying to sell or trade in to them......
what i like most about them is they seemed to have most went to older more mature drivers (cowboy Cadillacs).....so if you can find one thats single, or maybe two owners, there is a real good chance it was taken care of with decent mileage

I definitely agree. The Charger was never meant to be a 4 door car. Thats lame.

I bought it with 112kmi, now it's got about 130kmi. It still has the rear bumper but it only had one side-step so I took the other one off.

That's so cool to see a twin like that!

Thanks rikard. I see one around me (East Bridgewater) that sounds just like yours. The guy put on 80's Ford hubcaps. It's funny how much longer and regular bed looks than my Flareside. Sometimes I wish I has that bed so I could do Bushwacker Cutout flares but I don't want to cut the 'glass wheelwells.

BTW, I have my original window sticker, kinda cool to see all the options it was ordered with.

There's a couple extended cab FlareSides around me. I know one is a Mark III. I'm not sure if the other one is but it looks like it. There are two or three other Regular cab FlareSides around me also, and like mine they are also black.

i have mine as well. i was amazzed when i looked in the glovebox. being the third ownder of my truck i didnt think it would have anything but it still had the original window sticker and even the manufacturers warranty card in it along with alot of receipts and other various warranty paperwork.

ive never seen a x cab flareside ford around here before. im seen a few xcab f150s but never xcab and flareside. and ive never seen a markIII truck around here either. we got too many chevy and dodge people where i live. its awful..

Thats cool. You should post a picture of the window and conversion stickers. Do you have a scanner?

flare

i have a 94 flareside mark3 ext cab. i dont know they production number but realy dont see many with the mark 3 package. look on the driver side door pillar and there should be a sticker from mark 3 with all the specs. i have seen some fakes outthere. i love mine.it has leather, woodgrain, cooler, lights,bodykit, it came withe the 15in aluminum progressive wheels but i upgraded. it has 119k and still runs like new. if you can get yours for a good price grab it

didnt buy the truck. wanted it,but they kept giving me the run around,so i said hell with it and went on to look for another vehicle. wind up buying a 99 crown vic p71 from local auction.runs better than the truck did anyway, and less mileage on it
