Flareside picture thread

those are all quite swell, but it's all about the flat black..... YEEAS, In ARIZONA.... I had ALMOST enough cash to get an AC system.... but I woulda made myself flat broke for the rest of the summer... not good. SO I decided to blow a large amount of cash on hood hinges, floor boards, new headlight switch, as it just freaked out and the dome light intermittently comes on and wont go off.... uh, some nice pretty dennis carpenter knobs, and odds and ends so that I was not tempted to try to buy it and put myself in the shitter for the rest of the summer...

I was disappointed that I couldnt find the seals for the cowl vent butterflys... they leak pertty bad.

Also was looking for a new Parking Brake handle, but they seem to be hard to find.

WTF have I done?!?! this was a show your truck thread, not an invitation to ramble about random stuff! hahah

I wonder what a sepside would look like with lowered bed rails. There is something that just doesnt look right in my opinion on step sides. The long steps are even more unusal!

70s bed would solve that, has lower rails that are flat and easier to find a cover for, uses the same fenders.
