Been trying to find a clean one that isn’t crazy expensive for the past couple years. Think this is it…I hope! Lol
Going to see about a truck

Stock. I've already got a car to go fast. I just really love the look and sound of these trucks, so this would be a nice cruise night toy. Wife can even bring this out with my son while me and daughter are in the Stang. Trying to turn this into a family hobby...lol
Sorry man. I was showing the pics to a few guys in our circle and you were near.
Thanks! Owner is a super cool guy, at least over the phone. And he’s literally holding the truck for me without a deposit even though I offered one. Already have the trailer reserved to pick up down there.
The 1st gen Lightning group on Facebook. The guy technically didn't make a post. He replied to another member asking about Lightnings for sale. Guy posted a couple pics and I was all over his DM's and friend requests. These trucks go FAST if they're not rotted out pos's.
Nice. There was a guy on Turbo Mustangs who ran something like bottom 11s with one of those and an S400 on almost no boost. Not saying you should but probably saying that you should.
The engine is somewhat of a rarity from what I understand as 351Ws with factory roller setups were only made for a select few years.

Saturday.
This thing will be staying really close to stock. Cats have been deleted already and it has a couple Flowmasters. MSD ignition box, a PTC torque converter, and a Punisher valve body.
I don’t believe these 351’s are actually roller equipped.
Seems like you're correct. Depending on the mfg of it (apparently as early as April of '93 by this) it may be a roller ready block. Regardless would be fun to toss a letter cam into.
From my quick searching it seems like Ford made the switch to the F4TE block sometime in March/April so this late 93 build should be the roller block. I’ll check it out though.Depends on if they were using old or new engines at the time. Probably is, but I'd still check for markings before buying any parts.
They're an under rated engine with boost IMO. Regardless of any future mods, awesome score.
And I’m definitely not buying this for speed. Like I said, it’s a cool time piece and I just love these OBS F150’s.
I don’t see me not taking it, but you never know. The owner has sent me tons of vids and pics. The underbody is the cleanest I’ve seen for a truck this price… by a long shot. I would guess if I get it back here and do a good detail and make a nice ad, I could easily get in the low 20’s for it. Total rot boxes are going for 10k right now.
Finding one without rot is surprisingly difficult. Especially if they’ve spent any time in the rust belt.
