A real workhorse. That six-pack has plenty of pulling power, and the overall basic truck look just makes it all the better. Really like this build.

Excellent build! Colors and your execution are spot-on! 

I just getting started on my version of this kit and the molded-in side trim bothers me... am curious how much time and effort it took you to remove and clean it all up?

Thankyou,  first taped around moldings, used file to bring surface down, then used sandpaper to level with body 320 to 1500 grit. Cab corners are a little tricky to level out. Takes about an 1hr each side. Flaresides in this era never came with moldings, was disappointed to see them on this particular kit.

That is a really nicely built flareside. I like how you have removed the side trim, as a base level truck with a 6 cylinder probably wouldn’t have had any. I have this one in the stash and will build it similar to yours. Top notch.👍🏻

Good old factory stock workhorse when a pick up was a pick up not a luxury item we get nowadays. I like the white bumpers.

Thanks, the "Custom Cab" option from the factory actually includes a white front bumper and argent silver hubcaps.  Chrome front bumpers and chrome hubcaps were always extra cost items along with the rear bumper. The inspiration photo from Ford literature.
