Vehicle Description
With fresh paint and 500 miles on its engine and transmission
rebuild, this 1996 Ford F-150 4x4 Flare Side is the distinguished
classic truck that's loaded, fresh, and irresistibly
affordable.
These F-150 Flare Sides were a great look a quarter-century ago as
the styling mixed tough truck squareness and the rounded
aerodynamic touches. It really resonated with pickup people. But
since most trucks were used up as workhorses, we just don't see too
many of these anymore. That's why this example is so exciting. The
factory Reef Blue has been carefully resprayed within the last
year. It has a nice gloss that gives it a premium look. This is
heightened further by the full-length double pinstripe package.
Plus, there's plenty of premium brightwork, like the polished
15-inch wheels and newer chrome bumpers. And the integrated side
steps, side exhaust, and flare side short bed look positively
sporty.
Inside is a loaded interior that continues the premium feeling. It
starts with a bench seat finished in a nice textured cloth. It can
sit three across, and there's also a fold-down armrest and nice
bolstering for individual bucket-like comfort. This is a factory
loaded machine with great features, including power windows, power
locks, cruise control, tilt steering column, and cold-blowing R134a
air conditioning. Plus, they nicely integrated an upgraded AM/FM/CD
stereo that includes a USB input so that this modern vintage truck
still has the best in modern driving tunes.
Under the hood is a nice Ford legend. The 5.0-liter V8 has a
history of stoutness and modern fuel-injection adds to the
reputation. This is believed to be the original motor, and it was
given a full rebuild about 500 miles ago. The same versatility is
seen in the four-speed automatic transmission with highway-friendly
overdrive, because this was rebuilt at the same time as the V8.
That means you get a classic-looking Ford with the kind of
confidence you get from a new truck. You even have a versatile 3.55
rear end with a limited-slip diff to make it comfortable on the
road. And when the pavement ends, the 4x4 drivetrain with two-speed
transfer case keeps you moving with ease. Add in power steering and
power brakes with discs up front, and this is a great package to
drive for near or far.
Complete with full owner's manual packet, they invested over
$20,000 to ensure this Flare Side pickup remained bold and stout.
That makes for an irresistible pickup you need to get your hands on
