Cherished rides you no longer have - 5/17/2008 6:37:20 PM    aquill1 Posts: 5013 Score: 0 Joined: 9/27/2006 Status: offline This is mine... My dad bought it originally in 1994 brand new.  The front bumper and front grill were all painted to match the entire faded paint job.  That truck was the greatest looking stock anything from american manufacturers that I had ever seen in my lifetime (non sports car that is.)  Unfortunately by the time I got it that thing was totalled. But the pics above show what it looked like while I owned it and it was in as good of shape as I could get it in. Living here in Texas now I've seen about 5 ford f150 flaresides and about 3 that had the same ground effect kit as my truck.  Although mine had a roll pan on the rear instead of an ordinary bumper.  Man I miss the truck! _____________________________ Post #: 1
