Default Styleside to flareside

Is it possible to put a flareside bed on a Supercrew with the styleside? They seem to be cheaper than the styleside around here

flaresides are 6.5' beds so not unless planning on doing tremendous amounts of modding for something that wouldnt even be worth it. however i saw a picture of one (could have been photoshopped as well) and i liked the look

Meh. I can get a $900 white bed or a $750 different colored red bed that's a few hours away.. This is annoying

If you have a SCREW your are stuck with the SCRW Styleside 5.5' bed unless you add 14inches to the frame rails.

That's what I thought. Talking to a guy in the fire hall and he told me I should just put a normal bed on it. I didn't think it would work but he claimed it would

Now theoretically you could take a 6.5" styleside bed and chop 12" out from in front of the wheel well. No sure how well it would look tho. it would be different.

Thats worse then chopping up a regular 6.5' styleside. Just extend the frame rails..

There's a company out west in Montana that does frame extensions for Ford Dodge and Chevy. I'm not sure of their name or what years they're willing to do. Google it.
