trying to find an f-150
I'm looking for the closest thing to a lightning (appearance and power) regular cab, stepside etc. and i prefer the year 2003.
Can anyone give me a shout at what my option is?

Is there a reason that you do not want to just buy an L? You'll need a Lariat and a 5.4. I have only ever seen one Lariat, short box regular cab. It belongs to Raoul, and I'm not sure if it is even a 5.4.
I would say either expand your appearance criteria or get an L bro. Can't blame ya though, Ls are sick, and expensive.

^^^That is an XL, so cloth interior and most likely a 4.6. Your right, good look alike, but wont have anything close to the power (either would a normally aspriated 5.4).

^^^ I guess he want's a stepside, with a lightning body kit
even if he gets one with a 5.4 it'll still need some boost but most likely he'll end up with a 4.6

haha well I'm not trying to find a lightning look alike I'm looking for the next step down pretty much. I wouldn't put a body kit on or anything I just want an F-150 for now while i make enough money for an L one day.

Ooooooooooh gotcha. I thought you wanted to take a non SVT truck and make it exactly like a Lightning... only without the motor. Then in that case, I say good luck to you sir. The reg cabs are a rare species, especially with the 5.4. It'd be easier to find a Lightning...

There's plenty of regular cab flaresides around here in that body style, but most of them are V6's. Which there's nothing wrong with that V6 unless you just specifically want a V8.
