Got a New (to me) truck!

[Greg D]

1992 F 150 XLT Flareside
125,000 miles
5.0 - Auto
PS, PB, A/C, Tilt, Cruise, Power Mirrors, nice Pioneer CD player with a remote.
Duals with Glasspacks
Real nice Xtang cover.
Nice clean truck for it's age!









The 64 loaned her it's tires & wheels for awhile.
It needs a set of tires and I'm out of scratch after buying the truck.
Might look good with something similar to these and about 3" of drop.........





I know some aren't fond of this era of F series but I actually like them really well!
This one makes #3, lol - First 2wd one for me though.
Yea I already started improving it, pulled the crappy faded mudflaps today, removed "what was left of" the black striping.
Yea, I'll be posting more pics............

Very Nice!

i love that gen f truck. those and the "nite" series were kind of the test bed for the lightning trucks. you started to see mono chrome paint jobs and unique styling hints that led up to the "L"s. plus, the efi windsors were really reliable and the interiors were more spacious than before. also the flat front ends went away with that gen. what's not to like?

The 03 VN 64 was a fair amount lighter in color,
not entirely different though.
Yea the other drivers used to make alot fun of it too,
right up until I passed them doing 70 on a steep grade while they creeping along with their flashers on at 38 MPH, LOL.
Turned up Cummins ISX and a 13, truck would haul ass!

[Johnny Canuck]

Ah Yes. The ol' pink Volvo. Subject of much hilarity. Used to get Greg in a flap.

[Greg D]

I just looked up the 92's paint code;
Iris Mettalic Ford called it.

[BigWindowFord]

much better

Nice ride Greg! I have been keeping my eyes open for something similar to that in an
extended cab or crewcab F250 or 350 longbed to put this other big flatbed on I have.
No big hurry on that, but I am always looking. TR

[ezernut9mm]

much better

yep. good job mr.

[bmcgc]

I drove one of those Volvo sleepers, rides like a Caddy, steers like a F150.

[BMJ's 65]

Flareside Lightning clone Greg? She looks good low.

[Greg D]

There was 1 flareside Lightning built for testing only - it looked great in Yellow!
I actually like the color it is though.
If I lower I won't do it like the photoshopped pic - I'd just do 2" down all 4 corners and leave the rake in it.
It would look good with a little drop.

[kstones63]

I still drive that era truck everyday but it is an F350 flatbed. I still like that era truck.
That truck looks to be in good shape but I can say that I might not be real fond of the color.

I love that generation of F series. Ive had two. The interiors never get dated looking and the front end looks massive in a rear view mirror.

[ezernut9mm]

you need to find you some exhausts greg. lol. good luck.







and yes, i would regularly clean inside the tips to remove the soot. lol

[ezernut9mm]

this era grille in monochrome just screams death from behind! sorry i can't help myself.

[Greg D]

I am actually considering outlets kinda like that in front of the rear wheels - want them on both sides though.
I like these;




Wondering if Fox Mustang shorties will fit this thing too, stock ones are to be had cheap.
I have also seen them with the argent recesses in the grill painted body color - that looks real sharp as well.



Anybody know of a good forum for these trucks?

[aarons428]

Hey greg im putting new exhaust on my truck you could have my old tips for dirt cheap.
