Wow that is a sharp looking truck.
The only thing I would loose is that ugly Ford badge. LMC has a OEM replacement for it for $34.95. I see the front bumper is rusty the cheapest fix for that is a new one. LMC has new ones for less then it would cost you to have the one on the truck re-plated.
As for the "Mad Max" electric clutch on a supercharger (SC)that only looks cool in the movies it doesn't work in the real world. If you shut down the SC the intake will be blocked and the truck will not run, indeed Supercharger the Mad Max patrol car which was a Australian model 1973 Ford Falcon XB GT Coupe was a fiberglass fake and the only thing that turned was pulley. If your friend is interested here is a place, http://www.madmaxcar.com/ where he can get the shield for the MFP ( Main Force Patrol) The Law enforcement outfit Mad Max was a member of. A picture is below. I am not sure I would put a set of these on the doors but it sure would look cool on the hood is the sign is big enough.
On the episode of Trucks! MuscleTrux Part 3: 1994 Ford Lighting. They installed a turbo charging kit from this company, http://www.ststurbo.com/ It was the universal kit which would be great just as long as you didn't do any heavy duty off roading. The turbo replaces the muffler.

Did you know that Chuck Norris went to The Virgin Islands for vacation? They had to change the name to... The Islands.

I was looking the clutch supercharger thing up and it turns out there are several cars and trucks that have this feature most notably Daimler Benz however the system is computer controlled and there are two separate intake runners on these vehicles. These systems are very complex and very, very expensive. It would be cheaper the just get a crate engine that already has the power to begin with.
