Cool Newb from NY

Hello everybody! My name is Tony. I'm new here but not new to cars.

I've been in a garage since I could stand on my own. My grandfather always drove Fords but I'm a Dodge guy (bring on the haters) but now I somehow ended up with an F150 lol

It's not a bad truck. Powerful, fun to drive, good for towing, great in winter. Buying parts kinda sucks compared to what I'm used to though. Example: Can't just buy exhaust donuts, gotta buy the whole manifold.

On to pics:
My F150 Stacy

This is my S-10 (Jenny) the F150, and my Civic (Alexis)

Another one of the three

And one of the Civic

Ok so now that the introduction is out of the way lets get down to business.

My F150 is the 4.6l, 5 speed, 4x4.

I want more power and a more aggressive styling.

I have a 5.4l supercharged Lightning engine waitin to be transplanted. Being the same block it should mount to the trans no problem, correct? Body parts mount up the same; bed, hood, bumpers, etc.

I'm looking for this hood and a lightning bed somewhere near the WNY area if anyone can guide me in the right direction.

Hello Tony...Welcome to this site.!
You'll hopefully get more help if you use the right forum for your model year f150.

Welcome! Yes, start a thread in the discussion forums as this is just for introductions. You will get more help that way.

Thank you! This place is awesome! I've only started one thread (besides this one) so far and not only did I get the help I was looking for, the guy who owns the truck I used as an example actually posted and gave me the all the info I needed to find the hood Ive been searching for for months

Glad I stumbled across the site.
