Gary Lewis Posted June 12, 2018 Share Posted June 12, 2018 Man, it is amazing how those fender skirts make the rear of that truck look fat. At first glance I thought it is a DRW Flareside. Gas mileage aerodynamics! Maybe that "bra" would look right at home there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By the way, this is what Gary is talking about: https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.ford-trucks.com-vbulletin/2000x1504/80-20160917_184951_1__9ff480b0d8c43050df3101ed633e536cd2f53338.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rembrant Posted June 24, 2018 Author Share Posted June 24, 2018 Saw this wild looking Flareside in my travels today thought it interesting enough to share;). 3/4 ton 4x4, homemade long box Flareside?... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is certainly different. I think it says F150, but it apparently is sitting on 8-lug axles. And a long-box flareside to boot. Strange. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strange. You are correct, it had F150 badges on it, and above them, F8000 badges;). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neat truck, thanks for sharing! Cory/bluecollar4xford wants to do this with his ‘86 diesel. I will send him this pic 😎 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rembrant Posted October 14, 2018 Author Share Posted October 14, 2018 I'm still hunting for backyard Bullnoses, but haven't been finding much lately. I did come across a 1980 Flareside that popped up for sale not terribly far away, but definitely out of my usual traveled routes. It has a non running 460/auto in it currently, but it was obviously a manual trans truck (mechanical linkage through cab), and according to the data tag, it was originally a 300/6 with 4spd OD, and 2.75 rear diff. Unfortunately it is too far gone to be of any use to me. However, I did come across a 1981 Bullnose that is supposed to be somewhat of a barn find (Hasn't been on the road since 1995 apparently). Going to check it out this week if all goes well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
