I also have the 5.4L 2wd shortbed styleside

 

Looks like a nice parkin' job there Raoul.

I would put 10,000 on it, give or take a little.

Sounds like a nice truck.

 

I remember that well. We had F150online meeting at a Ford dealership in Norfolk. The dealer wanted all the trucks lined up in front along the street. I guess someone thought the angle look would make a better display. I was at the end of the line.

Thank goodness Wittom has pics to vindicate me.

 

Off subject but does anyone know why they changed the name to Style Side? Is it just because it sounds better than Fleet Side?

 

Styleside came from some slight of hand by Ford.

Up until 1987 Ford offered Flareside or Fleetside.
In 1988, they dropped the Flareside but to cover that up a little, they renamed the Fleetside to Styleside so the drop was as noticable.
In 1992 the Flareside was revieved to accompany the Styleside.

If you think about it, Fleetside does sound kind of common and work like.
