Hi, I'm Flareside Jeff.

[Flareside Jeff]

Hello everyone, My name is Jeff Farr, or "Flareside Jeff", and it is a pleasure to find other good people who Love the seventh generation of the F series! A little about me, I'm 52, I live in Bracebridge, Ontario, Canada, and I have had a love of Ford's Bullnose trucks since they were new in 1980. My first one was a 1986 F150 XLT Lariat with a 300/6 , automatic that I bought in the fall of 1987, and since then, I have owned eight different Bullnose trucks. Currently I have three Flaresides, an 81, 82, and an 85.  The 81 I restored in 1995, the 82 is my daily driver with 331000 kms on the clock, and the 85 is currently being restored.  I love talking about these trucks, and I'm looking forward to chatting with you!

Welcome, Jeff!  Glad you joined.  

Would you like to be on our map?  You can see it at Bullnose Forum/Member's Map in the menu.

And don't miss my suggestion that you nominate your truck for the December Truck Of the Month.

Hi Jeff, nice to meet ya! I'm out in the Maritimes (Nova Scotia). Just slightly younger than you...I'll be 50 in February, and while I currently do not have a Flareside, I have had three of them myself.

My 1980 F100 Daily Driver, picture taken winter of 1993/94, I think. It was originally a 300/6 truck, but had a 351 2bbl swapped in, and a 4spd manual.



My 1984 that I bought here in a NS in 2017 with only 57,000 original kms on it. Originally a 302 with 3-on-the-tree, I swapped in a 5spd.



A 1980 F150 4x4 originally from Ontario, that ended up on NFLD for about 10 years, and then back in NS. This one was a major basket case that I dragged out of the woods and rebuilt during the Covid lockdowns.
300/6 with 1995 5spd trans.



Unfortunately they're all sold and gone now;(. I just hang around to look at other member's Bullnoses now lol.

Haha, well in an ideal world we'd keep them all, wouldn't we? I do have seller's remorse once in a while, but at the same time I was ready for something new, and a new challenge.
