Im in the market for a Ford Ranger this will be my 3rd one. I have owned a 98 and a 95 both 2wd 4 cyl manuals. This time around I want a V6 with 4x4, preferably manual but it is harder to find those these days. In my shopping I am finding A LOT of flaresides. I don't mind either bedside style but I do want prerunner bedsides with flares one day when I get the money to put suspension and tires on it. The flaresides will make it easy since they are fiberglass and no weld cuts will have to be made but the size of bed is different. Will this make a difference when I go to put on glassworks or fiberwerx bedsides on. So basically will these aftermarket bedsides look right or fit on a flare side...any info or even pics would be GREAT!!!

 

You should start a few more threads on the same topic.

 

I believe you have to have a styleside bed to do prerunner flares. Interc3ptor had to switch from a flareside to a styleside for his.

 

Thanks for the reply!! Good to know. Ill narrow my search down to a styleside...unless I can find a cheap styleside bed to swap
