why don't you do it yourself?

http://www.carfax.com/

I ran your vin and it came back as invalid but close to a 1994 F-150 with a 5.8

post some pics of the truck, including engine bay and interior

I already did the Carfax thing, it just says F150 rwd nothing about it being a Lightning. Should it have it listed as a Lightning or not?

Can't get pics, but everything about it says Lightning, right seats, pipes, wheels, engine trim. Has no stickers on it and Ford SVT is closed until Monday. I was wanting to close the deal Sat. but don't want to pay too much for a homemade Lightning.

This will help: [if its "7" I would say your safe]

Transmission Identification
On the Vehicle Cert Label (drivers side Door frame)
Look for the Code below "TR"
U= 4 speed automatic (AODE, W/4R70W)
E= 4 speed automatice (4R100)
7= 4 speed automatice (4R100), Lightning

Found the Ford site to decode a VIN https://www.fleet.ford.com/maintenan...s/default.asp#
