Hey guys. Haven't seen yall in a while. Some of you might remember my 05 F150 that I had to sell.


Well I finally got a replacement truck yesterday. It's a '99 Lightning that is bone stock, but needs a lot of cosmetic work. The truck runs really well, but it looks like the guy who had it used it on a farm. I'm still in the process of cleaning it up, but wanted to post a couple of quick pictures. I went ahead and did a quick carwash and changed the headlights, and that alone made a world of difference, but I'll try to get better pictures up soon. I'm going to try to learn my way around a buffer.

Anyway here are a couple of quick before and afters of the headlights.

looks great man. cant wait to see what you do with it

 

Thanks man. I'm pretty excited about it. I'm going to have to find a bed for it first and go from there.

 

whats wrong with the bed?

 

Welcome back! But I am very upset that you have a lightning now.....And I don't!!!!!

What are the plans?

 

Very nice man... always wanted a lightning

 

You lucky SOB! Good luck with the build Lee!

 

The truck has been hit in the rear, but nothing major. It "folded" the rear fender a little bit, but not too bad. You can kinda see it in these pics.

 

haha thank ya sir!

Plans right now are to get it looking like a real Lightning again. It's pretty rough right now so I'm trying to get it looking good.

 

Thanks! I've wanted an L for the longest time and have never been able to afford one, but this one I could afford and am comfortable driving every day.

 

ouch well that does suck but if it dropped it into your range than congrats

 

Yeah I was looking at another L that the financing fell through, and then this one fell into place. I was looking for something to pay cash in anyways so I was pretty happy about it.

 

thats always the ideal way.

 

time to fix that bumper gap, clean the i/c core and change plugs

 

Lee you lucky dog!!! I am sure you will have in TOTM condition in no time at all.
