Flareside Jeff Posted November 20, 2022 Author Share Posted November 20, 2022 That's a cool truck! Tell us more about it? So it's a 1981 F150, with a 300 six, and auto trans, I bought it because i wanted the push bar it had on it for my black 82. It m was missing half of the interior, and needed some bodywork and I was originally just going to part it out, but it runs good, and I had all the missing parts in my parts pile, so I fixed up the interior, touched up the body, painted some camo with some rattle cans, and there she is! Here's the before pic! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you made a good decision. The smaller one i made out off some flat bar, and steel pipe. I drilled two holes through the top pipe for extra lights if I wanted. I tried it on my '82 initially, but didn't really like the look on that truck, found the flatbed with that period correct one, swapped them, and love the look of both trucks! The smaller one really looks better on a Blacked out Front end I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
