so, if you won some cash, what would you do to your truck?

I would take mine to the shop that does Leo's truck, Off Road Evolution, and have them do a SAS on my truck. Not so much of a lift, but coil overs, long travel type of thing.
I would pretty much give them free reign on design. I would want something of a street-legal pre-runner type of theme.
What Ford engine should I throw in? Let's throw a supercharger on it.
Let's repaint her too. I'm not flashy, but how bout a real nice Dark Shadow Gray?
New tires, we would need new wheels. Nothing over 18" wheel, I like more rubber of tire than wheel. Mud Grappler, Trail Grapplers, Again, I'm not flashy, I could get some Mickey Thompson Bead locks, or see if anyone else even makes wheels for 97 to 03's anymore. I could get a different set of wheels/tires for whatever I was planning to do that day.
Upgrade the axles of course, Dana 60's. Do it right the first time. Regear too, 5.13's.
OEM HD headlights, new exhaust, of course to go with the mystery engine.

What else?

 

Lotto cash? Probably drive it to the nearest INT airport, leave it in the long term and never speak of it again.

 

I'm not going to lie, I'd take the green truck to Blankenships and go with the KB 3.6 LC on top of the JLP trick flow head-n-cammed Paschal performance stroker short block...

have a trailer custom made and painted to match



the Lightning would probably end up at PSI's for a full turbo / race truck setup

 

Built short block topped with 4v cobra heads and a Kenn Belle. build the 4r70, and replace the 8.8 with a 9.75 geared with 4.10s. Add a very minor lift, reupholster the interior and swap to buckets. And a frame off body restoration...

 

I'd just buy a Raptor! LMAO

 

na, i love my baby too much!

 

Oh i would deff keep mine but I would buy a raptor or 2! LMAO

 

My 99 Scab would get a complete Lightning swap including the trans. Tru trac in the rear end and a mild drop. Harley bumper and lights, new paint job and a new interior.
The Bronco Would go to Off Road Evolution for a complete Pre Runner make over including fiber glass panels. A black and dark burgundy paint job and a Raptor drivetrain.
My 05 Screw would get the same headers Leo got, a super charged blueprinted 5.4, built trans and a complete air ride suspension with an all new silver and black paint job.

 

I would get my truck a built motor with some stage 2 cams and a MP supercharger just so it would have a little
extra oomph to pull my 2012 twin turboed Z06 to the dragstrip

but id really buy a 2012 white king ranch superduty with 38" mud graps, 20" or 22" wheels ,8" OUO lift, built motor, etc....

 

ditto build the 6.7 and a mild lift. and pull a 67 shelby mustang behind me.

 

The first thing I would do is build an absolutely mammoth quonset on the farm. I wouldn't build a house out there but would have a "loft" built into it with the most basic necessities and utilities and live in there. In this quonset I would do my "work" it would have about half a dozen hoists that would be the biggest available at the time. It would be outfitted with every tool imaginable, including a dyno and paint booth, and I would just go to town. From there I would need a second quonset for Junk that I will be robbing off or projects that I would like to tackle. After I fill up both quonsets I would need another quonset to put "completed" projects in.

But to answer the original question this truck would probably end up with a 7.3L diesel with a d60 from and 10.5 sterling in the rear and it would probably be the first project that would get tackled.

 

My initial thought was that I'd head down to my local dealer and pick up a new King Ranch Super Duty 4x4 for use as my daily driver -- but then I realized that even if I won the lottery, I probably still wouldn't have enough money to afford one.....

 

The PSI in portland?

 

I would trade mine in on a new F450.

 

get one of these....
