2003 FORD F-150 LIGHTNING PICKUP

Details

Supercharged magazine show truck with less than 8,000 original miles, completely documented build with book, pictures and details; $100,000 cost approximate. The Lightning body lines smoothed by Hot Rods & Custom Stuff in Escondido, California, which shaved the emblems, rear trim, bedrails and front license plate holder. Pearl White Flickering with silver and white flames, thanks to artist Pete 'Hotdog' Finlan, who is Jesse James' West Coast Choppers personal custom painter who laid on the House

of Kolor paints. Engine upgraded by Autosport Performance in Escondido, California, to install an Apton Performance upgrade to the stock blower, 2-PSI blower pulley, 6-pound lower pulley, Generation 5 Supercharger impellers, methane/water injection, AFE cold-air intake, polished intake tube, polished and ported throttle body, Interchiller intercooler fans, electric fans, water pump, JBA programmed chip, JBA ceramic headers and Bullet 3' exhaust. This all adds up to 459.8hp and 547 lb/ft of torque to the wheels; dyno sheet included. Autosport gave it a 4/6 drop, swapped out the factory coils for a set of Western Chassis springs in the front, and left the factory leaf springs in back. Nitro Slammer shocks, Boze 22' wheels all around wrapped in Pirelli 295/30ZR22 tires and stopped by AP Racing 6-piston calipers. Inside, the factory gray interior is given high-end accents by the Phoenix Imaging blackwood dash panels and the suede gray door panels and headliner. The seats were cut down to buckets, neon blacklights in the doors and Billet Accessories speaker grilles cover the audio drivers in the cab. An Alpine IVA-D901 AM/FM/CD/DVD unit heads up the audio/video system. From there, an Eclipse equalizer offers greater control over the system's frequency settings. Two JL Audio 10' subwoofers thump from custom enclosures in the cab, a setup duplicated in the bed. MB Quart 6', 4' and 2' separates sprinkled in the doors and bed push the mids and highs. Powering these drivers are two JL Audio 450/4 amplifiers for the subs, and two JL Audio 500/5 amps for the other speakers.
