Hello all, this is my first post, however i've got a friend that has a 2003 flareside, with a terribly rusted bumper. I found a chrome bumper from a 97 straightside cab, that appears to have the same shape, and style. Im just not sure about fitment!

Any ideas? Would this work? THANKS!

 

i take it you mean rear bumper. If so it will fit but the ends are differnet on them and it wont look right.

 

Yeah it looks dumb, i did the msitake to because mine rusted out to, the only probelem is where i am, flaresides are pretty rare in the junk yard, so good luck man

 

If its the rear there different. Fronts are the same.

 

I'm looking to get a new rear bumper for my flareside too...where's the cheapest place to buy one. Only place I've seen is LMC where it's $500

 

500.00 isnt cheap, but it sounds like a good deal ebay is 560+

 

to be honest, i went to a junkyard to get mine, i was extremly lucky, the one i got was perfect, no rust, and i got it for $75, also check craigslist.com in your local area for guys selling parts, id try those two first,

 

Look for a SCrew if you can't find a flairside I think that'd fit, cause the tailgate and lights are the same as a flairside I'd assume the bumper is the same as well

 

No they're not. Go to google and search a 1997 F150 and then search a 2003 F150. You'll see the difference.
