    Can someone please direct me somewhere that has after market parts for a 2005 standard cab with the flareside bed if such a place exists. I can go to eBay but am sick of things saying NO flareside in the description. Thanks.

    Welcome buzzard317.

    I Typed:
    2005 F150 Fireside Aftermarket

    into Google and bedside body panels,
    Tailgate, OEM spolier items came up as well as other items.

    Not sure what specific Flareside aftermarket hardware/ add ons you are looking for ?

    Saw Tounue cover, some ladder racks cover Flareside models.

    More along the lines of tonneau covers or cross boxes type things. I saw a soft top type camper shell the other day and that would be something I’d like to add for hunting trips. Thanks for your help, maybe I’m making this harder than it has to be?

    I’m in the process of sending a set of fender flares back. Ordered online, didn’t install waiting for new front fenders to be installed. Fronts are great, rears don’t fit and I’m passed refund timeline but they’ll replace them. Going to have same issues but maybe they can be chopped up a little?

    I didn't know they made 3 different bed lengths in the styleside those years.
    So your question increased my knowledge.

    I’ve struggled for multiple parts. I’m blacking out my truck for the most part. LED tails are tough to find too unless it’s the European look.

    Choppin is an option, maybe left to better craftsmen than ourselves.
    I've worked both polyester and fiberglass and like neither, so much time involved.

    Retrofit of the tail lights could be a possibility.
    Like the headlights I've disassembled, baking in the oven 12-15
    minutes @ 225 degrees softens up the sealant enough to open them.

    Then paint like enamel for color change and leds installed.
    Would be a PITA to mask each led reflector bowl on an European style brake light.
    Reassemble with RTV Silicone (black ?) making sure not to miss any gaps.

    That’s way outside my range of knowledge. Might be able to talk a buddy into trying it though. I love my truck. It’s just a beat around hunting/fishing/hauling truck but I still want it to look as good as it can.
    It’s the dark beige metallic and I’ve put blacked out headlights and fogs (they’re fine, don’t love either) and a black bull bar on it. Going to do step bars next and really want black tails and 3rd brake light. I plasti dipped the rims (while on the vehicle still) and really like the way they turned out. I’ll keep digging, just wish there were more ready available options.
