I know the truck has money into it,and if it was $10-$12k I'd probably be making a road trip.. lol

Kid says he paid 18k for it then put a few grand in exhaust & stereo in it. I know good & well Wayne already had those in there. A few members on the Lightning Club page are trolling him.

This is very true. Poor truck. I'd gladly give it a good home.

I believe it's a stock block blower swap. Stock axles & trans with a lift & tuner. I could be wrong. But i dont remember Wayne mentioning any internal mods. Maybe gears?

He put either a brand new or like 2000 mile factory lightning engine after he toasted a piston in his factory NA engine. Also had rebuilt front and rear diffs, with yukon lockers I believe. Also all new suspension/bushings, custom interior, etc. It was clean as it gets. Well it doesn't look like it anymore. Those wheels look like hell now
