Maybe we should do a how muddy have you got your fireside thread!

 

I've always found it amusing how the plain flat sided bed is called the "style" side. While the beds of a flareside have more "style" to them.

 

Back in the old days, the Model T Pickup was a "stepside" (cabin cut short, a box was added between the rear fenders) which became a "flareside" after the fenders were blended into the bedsides instead of just being blunt instruments of protection bolted to the side as in 1979 and prior years (ever notice a '79 stepside fender looks like a '53?) . In the '50s the manufacturers tried to widen the appeal of the utility Pickup Truck by extending the lines of the front fenders and cab to incorporate the bed sides, hence "styleside" as to better be recieved by the new and growing Urban owner where as prior to that time, PUs were mainly work / utility / farm use vehicles.

I see the eveolutionary process clearly even if I didn't 'splain it very well. I love my Flareside!
