Vehicle Description
1992 Ford F-150 Flare Side Pickup
Back in 1992 Ford celebrated their 80 year anniversary for the
pickup truck, and to do so every Ford dealer in the country
received 1 Iris colored flare side (or step side) example. This
model had since been dropped, so it was a bit of a throwback of
this popular design, and a reintroduction of the flare side
truck.
For consignment, a 1 owner mostly original truck with some
modifications, garage kept, well maintained 80th Anniversary
edition of the flare side pickup in Iris paint. Now a cowl
induction hood, a chrome bar style grille, bed carpet, a tonneau
cover, and snappy Tribal hood and fender flames licking rearward,
and even some neon lights for some eye candy when it gets dark and
you feel like a cruise and a howl!
Exterior
61,313 original miles for this one owner truck, bathed in two tone-
Iris, with silver flare sides at the rockers. Some Tribal flames
for the hood, which is now a cowl induction style, and for the
fenders. To delineate the two tone paint, snazzy red and purple
stripes run the length of either side. The front of this truck now
has chromed bar style grille in horizontal setup, and a front
bumper ground effects version with driving lights. Moving back, we
note a large sun visor jutting from the front of the roof line, and
a fender, and door step side flare molding kit. The rear bumper has
been removed and a roll pan now replaces it, also showing dual
custom exhaust peeking out from the bottom. Headlights and
taillights are now covered with some custom coverings, and snappy
neon can be turned on and you can bask in the afterglow underneath
the front, back and sides of this truck with that neon full bore.
On back is an arched tonneau cover over the bed area, which snaps
on, and covers a fully carpeted shelved rear bed. Deep dish chromed
reverse wheels with chromed moon caps are on all 4 corners, as well
as dual large chromed side view mirrors. A tinted sliding rear cab
window allows air to flow through this hot truck.
Interior
A swing of the doors and we see plenty of gray molded plastic
making up the door panels, and these have carpet and broadcloth to
soften the effect. Power window and lock toggles are installed into
the doors. Slipping inside is a full bench with broadcloth gray
covering, and a lumbar support for the driver's side. Noted is a
large and in charge armrest, which can be conveniently flipped
upward, and you have another instant passenger seat. Upfront the
original dash is very clean, as is the steering wheel, and an added
pro unit clock and tachometer have been molded into the A pillar. A
full 4 speaker surround sound system is driven by a Sanyo
AM/FM/CD/Cassette head unit neatly installed into the original
dash. Carpet and headliner are pristine, and flamed floor mats
protect the floors as well. Dual gas tanks with 16 and 18 gallons
capacity respectively extend your trip by many miles.
Drivetrain
A 4.9 liter inline 6 cylinder offers up plenty of power, and nice
gas saving from the usual V8. A 4-speed overdrive automatic
transmission is on back, and all is nicely preserved in the clean
engine bay.
Undercarriage
Beautifully detailed with shiny black undercarriage still showing
some of the factory Iris overspray throughput, and certainly no
rust, surface or otherwise. Axles, fuel tank, brakes, suspension
front and back, coil springs, and various other small parts on this
undercarriage, have all been painted silver, which adds a nice
contrast to the shiny black. Disc brakes are up front, and on back
are drum brakes. Just beautifully done underneath to match the
stunning topside.
Drive-Ability
A turn of the key and she fired right up. The 6 cylinders hummed in
unison and I was off to the test track. Here it performed well,
with snappy acceleration, good handling and a nice comfortable
quiet cruise at highway speed. All functions were working
swimmingly, A/C blowing cold and the stereo was loud and proud.
Being higher up almost prompted me to take advantage of lesser
vehicles, but I refrained, and just decided to look cool rather
than act upon it as well, although I easily could have!
A 1 owner modified from original, Iris anniversary truck, flare
sides, neon, shelves for the carpeted bed, and all buttoned up
under the well maintained hood in the engine bay. All of the
original parts are in the back of the truck and will come with the
purchase. This truck is just a great looker, and a bit of a cooker
to boot.
