Thanks for the information Roy. I will watch for the new information you post when you get it all together. I hope your knee gets better so you can get back out there and hopefully you will get some of your cars back where you want them too.Jamie asked me to respond to this post. First here's a link about the center seats:
Center Seat Origins.
Interesting conversation copied and pasted from Facebook It started with a Gen-1 guy posting a pic of a nice center seat he found locally. Jim Cope: Man did we roll a bunch of those out the door at Full Effect. Bill Thomas: Yes we did! Matt Fisher: Full effect made these as well? Jim...www.nloc.net
Here's a link with some history about my truck:
Gale Banks dynos a Gen1
So I was flipping through YouTube and came across this video of Gale Banks running a Gen1 with the Ford Motorsports supercharger on a dyno... the results were quite disappointing! Most of the video has nothing to do with the Lightning itself, but has some cool sport truck history and stories...www.nloc.net
Don't have a lot more info to post other than what has been posted above.
I've been in a wheelchair for the last 7.5 months with a bad knee so I have been spending some time going through the thousands of magazines, pictures and literature trying to get together all the Lightning info I can and will try to post it when I get a chance. It's interesting but I have been doing more work on all the vehicles than before I ended up in the wheelchairmy wife says that's because I can't leave the house to go help others so she keeps me home
Everyone take care and be safe, Roy

Thanks Roy!
Not sure but the truck in the magazine could be mine. My truck was originally black and came with a tube rear bumper. Also from the paperwork I have it was the first truck to be done.
Have you seen the issue and article that I was.talking about? Super Ford, December 1993. Do you know what production number yours is out of all the lightnings for 1993? Ford/SVT told me mine is 545 so yours must have been even earlier.

No I don't believe I have seen that Article. I did search the internet last night and found a copy and have it on its way.
Yes my build number is #125 .
That would be cool if it is yours. I'm glad you found that issue on Ebay.
