Gen 1 Lightning prototypes; Street and 460XFT

Anyone have any information about these? and were there anymore prototypes out for the lightnings? these two trucks in question were 87-91 body style.

I don't know of any 87-91 body style concept that was associated with the GEN 1 Lightnings, through Ford.

There was an article in Sport Truck magazine about these trucks in about 1990. One had a custom box that is very simular to the flareside box that went into production, If I remeber correct to the other had a 3" chop. They were running 10" Centerline wheels with the red dot foactory Ford center cap. These trucks were built by Jack roush to, I think.

I thought the Sport Truck Magazine article featured the purple truck built by Boyd Coddington, not Roush?

That is one of the trucks of which I was speaking, The other was a red 90 or 91 with a narrowed both with daully fenders, a 460. They did a top speed run with it on an oval and it topped out at about 145mph. There was also a pace truck, I think it was built for SSCA truck racing. It was a black short box lowwerd about 2" with a 351 and a 5speed, lightbar and all that jazz. It was a real cool looking truck.
