^^Agreed. I don't see much of a market for flareside trucks anymore with the addition of the side step that has been added, cutting all the loose ends will improve the companies overall finances as well.

Ehhh.... When i first saw a screw/flareside I thought wow that is different, and still do for the most part cause they are pretty rare in my area. But the concept of the flareside in general never caught on for me, someone around here posted pics of their old 01-03 model black 150 that was lifted and a flareside and had done it up well! that flareside did look good

Agreed.
That is a purdie tuck!(Even though I'm not much on Crews with 6.5 ft beds. Too long for my liking. Still a very nice looking truck)
I have love for the Flareside, and wish Ford would keep them.
I think the Flareside on the 97-03's fit their body style better though. L's are beautiful trucks with their Flareside beds.

Keep in mind that's a pic of an '04 body style FlareSide, so it looks pretty good (still needs to lose those awful tie down things).
But on the '09 body style the FlareSide looks bizarre because Ford didn't change it at all, so the lines don't match up at all. Didn't make sense to me, until they announced it was discontinued for 2010. Now I see they either a. needed to use up old parts or b. wanted the first year of their refresh to be able to say "We are the only truck manufacturer with a FlareSide."

It was stupid of them to make it a whole separate trim line to begin with, they should have left it the way it used to be similar to the z71 chevy
