Very nice, clean looking rig. The radius arm bushings are rubber unless they've been replaced with aftermarket pieces.
There is a wide variety of things you can do to it, it just depends on what plans you have for it, and much money you're looking to spend on it. A good start would be to pull the spout connector out and advance the base timing a few degrees. That one will make a difference and it's free.

really not looking to modify much. I would like to do the bushings. the radius arms have been replaced it looks like, but I'll probably change them again when I do the rest of the front. Plan on giving it a tune up this weekend. New plugs, wires, D cap and maybe the coil.
I was toying with the idea if dropping the front to give it a little rake. It seems the the least amount of drop I can find is 3" and I think that will be too much rake. the factory springs are lower than stock f150 springs I beleive. Anyone got any ideas on dropping it about 2"?

My dad has the same 95 SVT lightning .it has 31k and never seen rain or snow.the Gen 1 is My favorite truck ever. My advice to you is to keep it out of the snow and keep it all bone stock. The more people who customize them the more $$$$ your truck will be worth. You now own a pice of ford history. That truck is beautiful. I wanted a new truck like a lightning but we all it don't exist so this is the closest I could find. It was hard to find. Had to order it from ford. It's a work in progress. I will soon post pics of pops 95 Gen 1 . Same as u except tube bumper.
