Gary Lewis Posted February 14, 2019 Share Posted February 14, 2019 Great story Old Blue, and nice project you've got there. I'm a big fan of the Bullnose Flaresides. My current machine is an 84 Flareside that I call the "Blue Mule". Full disclosure, I stole the name from the cabover Ford from the movie White Line Fever (1975). When I was a kid, I couldn't get enough of that stuff...Smokey & The Bandit, Convoy, etc. My father was crazy about that stuff, and as a kid I was too...lol. The truck in White Line Fever was the star of that movie, and the name stuck with me all these years. I had a dark blue 1980 F100 Flareside back in the early 1990's, and even back then, that truck was affectionately named the Blue Mule. Keep us posted on your build. You're surrounded by Bullnose fanatics on this forum;). Who's a fanatic????? (Let's see, I only have two Bullnose trucks, as well as a part or two. And a website. And a forum. Fanatic? ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, now that I look again..... Maybe a short Chris? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
