And say to be careful about it but she got that truck after I worked hard on it I was 7 and that truck was mine and when I was older I would drive it * I'm ten now and now my truck is a international scout* she moved to Alabama and ended up selling the lightning

You are absolutely correct. I had a 1993. Bought it brand new . Automatic transmission only. Great truck. I changed it from speed density to mass air. 6 lb kenne bell. Kept stock headers, replaced that ridiculous 4 catalyst system with 2 high flow cats and 2 chamber flowmasters with 2 1/2 aluminized pipe duals exiting before the rear tires. Art Carr shift kit, Custom tune, roll pan, 2 1/2 inch cervini Cowel hood. Low profile fiberglass tonneau cover. Color was red . Had the whole truck sprayed with clear coat including tonneau. No clear coat from factory. Very strange. 3 inch bell tech drop in front 6 inch in rear. God I miss that truck!!!!! Sold it about 17 years ago .

I wish I had bought one of these when they were less expensive. I'm trying to decide if I should save up for one or build a clone. Probably a clone, because I want to daily. Nothing crazy, I just want a clean 9th gen and the Lightning has the look. It would be cool if I could have the same frame and mods as the lightning...but now we are talking about a lot of trouble.

and the thunder rolled.

My friend couldn’t find a mint one so we made one 😂 93 F150 302 with long tube headers, gt40 heads, f303 cam, three inch straight pipe.

You never mentioned 340 ft lb of torque and that no it doesn't have the same towing capacity of a regular F-150. The lightning only could carry 600 plus pounds in the bed not even close to a half ton.
