I thought your original pictures show a long bed and the step-side bed is a short bed? How did that work?
That's what I was thinking although the paint chip on the top rear corner of the drivers side part of the cab seems to be the same in both pictures to me anyway

Long bed? No its been a short bed since i bought it, theres a huge difference between the long and short im suprised you guys confused it!
Check out the dent on the upper cab and the dent on the door its the same truck
I pulled iff the rear window tint that also makes it look different
Ok ya I just looked at a pic of my 97 the beds allot longer for some reason that first pic makes it look like a long bed until I looked at one that is
Yes there is a huge difference! Long bed wouldnt work for my build though.
Havente had time (and by time i mean $) to work on the work horse, but my dad did pull out a pair of wheels from his shed and tried them on the truck looks different but im definately going with 20's or 22's!
No since these trucks nont have to many options that arnt off road wheels im planing on installing adaptors. Im not very concerned on safty because iv ran adaptors before on a 69 f100 i had and never had a problem other then the billet shine bothering me between the rim and disc (easy fix-black paint) so my question is, what wheels 20/22 can i install and still be able to lower the truck(4/6 maybe lower5/7) without having rubbing issues? I belive on my harley wheels the offset is +14mm or 5.25" from rim lip (inside of rim) to mounting surface, and 4.14" from mounting surface to outer(rim face) lip
Of coarse its not exact. Soiv done some reasearch and i THINK that i canuse range rover wheels without a problem because theyre about +40 or 6.25" from nner lip to mounting surface. Anyway any help would be appreciated!
And yes new rims are not a possibility since im broke haha, its a low budget build remember!
Btw, the spacers iv seen are an inch and a half thick!
Yes i do own a supercharged harley davidson thats why i dont want an original lightning i already have a fast truck and i love that i can take 3 extra people with me when i do out instead of only 1(would do the center console mod if i would own one)

To be honest my goal is under 300 iv found a few cheap f150/epedition 20's/22's and they just dont convince me too many spokes or the design dovers most of the area and makes it look too busy, im looking for more of a 5 spoke type of thing, my cousin just tole me he has a set of 20" lightning replicas in his back yard and he lives 2 hrs away so i might check those out depending on how much he wants for them, but you should send me a picture of your wheels you never know i might like them! And i also encourage anyone with lightning parts that are sitting around and wana sell or "donate" to let me know!
What are your plans for the exterior paint? I've seen a few trucks with a fade down to the rockers, and they look great. That's usually not the cheap way to go.

Yeah thats not my cup of tea i had a "southern confort" silverado when i lived in alabama with a fade paintjob like that and i hated it so much that i ripped the claddings and spray painted the truck flat black! Im planing on keeping it white(maybe a pearl white) or going midnight blue or dark charcoal gray but for now im pretty set on the white
Is the paint good enough that a good buffing will make it shine? I guess that dent in the cab will need a respray. Any other problem areas?
I wish it were that easy! It had a few more dents, then its getting s lightning body kit (ground effects) im working on getting s good deal off a guy who totaled his lightning only needs the passenger front side skirt molding and bumper because the were destroyed.
Its not too bad to where i need a n expensive paint job so im gona do the body work myself and paint it to see if i can get another decent paint job done! I painted the blue firebird and it looks pretty good so im sure a plain white spray job will be decent if i try
