YOUR REACTION WAS WORTH THE TIME WATCHING! I CANT BELIEVE THAT YOU GOT THAT OFF IN LESS THAN 15 MINUTES. LOL! GREAT JOB! I'VE ALWAYS TRIED TO DO THINGS LIKE THIS MYSELF. I'VE WON AND LOST,AND BEEN SURPRISED TOO!
Thank you very good video very simple to understand I appreciate it very much, even guys who do minor mechanical work can do this good instructional video
@@yusufrimawi982 you don't know how much it helped I was looking at a nice Ford Ranger, it is at Copart only thing wrong with it is a busted left fender, and I can't afford a Body Shop and I need something economical on gas, luckily the truck is a standard White and there's many used ones around here that are wrecked, again I want to thank you for the video I really can't take you how much it helped me I'm 63 years old, and you made it understandable simple and convenient young man I appreciate you very much God bless you young man
I was wondering if this was the same for the non stepside steel version. I have a lot of damage on one side but the other side is mint and was hoping to not replace whole bed.
For anyone who has to do this in the future. Remove the 4 bolts holding the bed to the frame and you'll have a few inches of wiggle room, without impeding the fuel pipe to get to those bolts in between the bed and the cab
Thank you!! I'm not sure yet. So far I've got it up and running and fixed a bunch of stuff. Corona put everything on hold so we'll see what the future brings 😁
Is there anyway to push the fiberglass bed side out wards because I hit that and it push the bedside in wards in a way that make the tailgate unusable.
Thanks! Electrical tape works as well! I needed more angle so I went with the zip tie. I was thinking of switching up the bed but I love the stepside so much! It's really unique to have the stepside with a regular cab, 5 speed, and rwd. If I ever get a diesel I'd make a custom flatbed for it.
I totally disagree with your praise of the fiberglass. IMO its a sh88t design and I also hate the way the bed top corners no longer have hole throughs for if you wanted to stick in a 2x4 and screw in some plywood to them to increase the bed height for hauling yard waste etc. The fiberglass is about as lame as driver seat covers, bed covers, or spray on bed liner.

Thank you, for making this video. You saved me a world of headaches
Great video, extremely detailed ! Seriously, saved me a shit ton of money 🙏🏻 thank you brotha
also you can adjust tightness of the flex head joint by tightening the screw on the side
Thank you very good video very simple to understand I appreciate it very much, even guys who do minor mechanical work can do this good instructional video
Thank you! Glad I could help 🙏🙏

@@yusufrimawi982 💯
you sir are a hero
Thanks for this video. Very detailed.
You're welcome!!
Very helpful and to the point. Thank you.
Thank you!
Been Looking for a vid! Got my step side smashed inward near the tail light and been wanting to repair it.
Awesome! So glad I could help!

same here
Sorry been a crazy year. Not sure if the non stepside is fiberglass or not
I have the same problem. It's definitely steel on the 2003 non step side. I guess I will go out and pull bolts and see if it comes off.
It's funny, you'd think the fiberglass would be for weight savings but it's heavier than the regular bed which is bigger... Thanks for the info btw!
not for weight savings its for cost savings. fiberglass typically cheaper and easier for the assembly line to slap on.
@@dylangreen8679 That makes a lot of sense.

What an awesome video. I need fix mine. Thank you so much 😂
looks cool without the skin
Subbed ! Keep the Flareside videos coming
Thank you!! I'm not sure yet. So far I've got it up and running and fixed a bunch of stuff. Corona put everything on hold so we'll see what the future brings 😁
Awesome
Thank you
You're welcome!

Fiberglass isn't really malleable like metal. You can try hitting it with a hammer but once it breaks you have to repair it.
Do you know if the inside bed dimensions for the flareside is the same as the regular style bed, dimensional wise.
I don't know. I think the flairside came in the shortest bed size.
Me,,,, I would sand it down paint it, looks awesome! without the side panels.
That zip tie idea is great. I’ve broken 2 universal joints already. Ever thought about making it a flat bed? Or different bed?
Thanks! Electrical tape works as well! I needed more angle so I went with the zip tie. I was thinking of switching up the bed but I love the stepside so much! It's really unique to have the stepside with a regular cab, 5 speed, and rwd. If I ever get a diesel I'd make a custom flatbed for it.
Yusuf Rimawi man that’s super cool! Thanks for the reply! Hope to follow you on your journey
Got a question bro do ford lightnings of those years also have the fiberglass bed sides ?
Yes
Reapie shops wants 1080 to remove and put new one on
