Now I'm even more confused.........geeesh

I'm not offended---I think the truck is!!!!!! Heck, that engine is in a better home now then it could have been before!!!!!

good thing i have no brand loyalty.

ford 302 in 27 chevy

Don't think anyone here was bashing the truck..... But when you run a Brand X with a Brand Y engine, you'd better be expecting people to give you crap about it..... It's called brand loyalty, many folks have it.

I just don't have additional funds to make a switch....I guess the first step would be
to find a buyer for this set up....

It bothers me, though, when people bash on the truck unaware that all I did was find a good bargain......it's all good, though. I love my truck.

And that's probably why you got the "bargain" - lots of people will look at a Lightning with a Chevy engine as something that's just too weird, but others might be intrigued by the "difference". On a truck that new you've got a very limited market that will even consider it, IMO. Not bashing the truck at all, just the concept.

I just wanted to wish everyone a Happy 2012!

Thanks for the compliments and even the negative, I've learned to accept them...it's all good...

Here's my truck..
