Hey, I am the guy that bought the seats from you a little while back........but anyways your ford dealer can print it out, you have to have all the right brackets and stuff, I have print out from them but no scanner, sorry but thats all i can do.

 

svtaudio:

There's a step-by-step in this months Truckin' magazine, if I'm not mistaken.

looked in truckin but didnt see it.(December 2000)

anyone else have any ideas. i am about to leave and go to my dealer but i can use all the help i can get.

 

SVTAUDIO,

I have the diagram that my parts counter guy gave me. No scanner at home but I can take it to work Monday if you still need it. Diagram is a little misleading I test fitted all of my brackets on the ground and it goes on pretty easy. Have you bought all of the brackets? I can send you the parts list if you need it.

Good Luck,

yeah i went and got the diagram and was just wondering what all the pieces are.

if you know what the names of the parts are and the #'s it would be very helpful.

svtaudio:

The "Lightning" kit is made by Wings West(www.wingswest.com. The complete step-by-step starts on page 220. The front bumper is identical to ours...
I may be less pricy than actual Ford replacement parts. Just a thought..

Don't believe so I checked they want like 400 for the cover and its not original would you rather have original.............if not go with the more expensive, look at the site its like 395 just for the bumper cover i called and checked..............just trying to be helpful..........actually pricing and part number from their website:
97-2000 F-150 LIGHTNING STYLE FRONT BUMPER COVER 890430 $395

I stand corrected.... My mistake...

Sorry TampaBay, I didnt mean to seem like an A$$, but I don't want everyone that buys aftermarket stuff to get ripped on it, I am pretty close with a parts dealer (aftermarket) in town and he can get it a little cheaper than that but not much, I just want to save people money, beleive it or not, but I try to pinch every corner that I can, and I've saved alot on my truck, if you can just haggle with these guys the will come down on the prices. Sorry if I seemed pushy .................LOWEREDFORD

 

thanks again.

i have all the parts i need then.
i have this Sh** sitting in my house.
i just moved out and in my living room is sitting over $5,000 in truck parts.(not all for one truck)
one thing that pissed me off though is i ordered the lightning ground effects and all the pieces came in except one (the molding with exhaust ports) because its on national backorder.

again thanks for all the help.

 

svtaudio:

I feel your pain... Been there, done that.
It will certainly be worth it once it's all installed.
Be sure to let us all see when you're done.

Good Luck!

i ll have before and after pictures put up the day the last bolt is put in.

one question though for anyone to answer.

what is part # 9. XL3Z-8327-AB DEF AY-RAD

it is pictured just under the grill insert.
it appears to be the same length as the grill insert for the bumper.


what is this called and what does it do?

That is the bottom part of your air damn, its called an air deflector, I asked if i would need it and the said yes.
