Thanks, If I ever get to a point where I want to sell you will be the first to know.

Tell me more about your 1st gen lightning. My buddy had a really clean 93 about 6 years back. His was red and if would fade to a nice shade of pink after a couple months, LOL! Great truck though. I was mad when he got rid of it. It was a keeper with less than 60K miles on it. He regrets letting it go now.

My Lightning is all original (other than the tires, a drop in K&N, and a Red Top Optima), in what I consider mint condition (as mint as any 58K mile truck can be).

Keep me in mind, I'm in Allen, just North of Plano.

I have a set of NOS floormats I use for shows. Didn't have them in when I took these pics though.

SSPs rock, but so do Gen 1 Lightnings.

Very nice! I love the white ones. Good looking truck! Better hang onto it!

Thanks...the Goodyears are gone now, have a set of new Nittos on it now. No plans to get rid of it, although I would like to find a nice White, Dark Shadow Gray, or Silver 2003-2004 to sit next to it.

Hey chism. Welcome to the site. I have an 89 Nevada car. After looking at your pics I find it amazingly similar. Blue interior, no power windows, and cruise control. I've looked at other jurisdictions and there is always a few items off. Either they have power windows or no cruise, etc. My vin is 22????.... sorry I'm at work and don't remember the rest. Anyways welcome. This is a great site with lots of good info.

Thanks! Ya, I'm pretty new to all this too. I have always been familiar with the cars and I've owned a handful of 87-93 cars. There probably are alot of similarities between our cars. I was lucky to find a car intact and pretty much untouched/unmodded for a good price. I couldnt resist having it! LOL
