So the body style didn't change until '05, but the crash ratings changed in '04?

That video shows an 11th gen F150. The '99 - early '04 Lightnings were 10th gen F150s.

99 ford lightning
No being serious since my truck ran a best off 11.69 that morning when it was in the upper 50's by no means i would call that cool but cooler then lately this e55 was pulling harder. But when the afternoon came and i was hitting on it and then did the run from a roll agianst the customers lightning my car was heat soaked. splitting the intercooler system, and i have a 03 cobra intercooler tank that will be going in as well. Im going to have the pump come on all the time when the car is running. I may put it on my dyno today for before and after with the split intercooler. didnt take much to get you folks going.

Your Lightning is NOT just a pulley-tuned modded truck.
