If you missed out on the second generation of Ford's iconic F-150
Lightning, the bad news is that prices for those trucks have
skyrocketed as of late. The good news, however, is that this 1998
Ford F-150 Supercharged Coyote Restomod we have for you today
offers an arguably better, faster package at a more reasonable
price. This short-bed standard cab has been fully repainted in a
custom blend of black paint, with a painted bed and bumpers, and
finished off with tinted head and taillights. And with just 250
miles on its odometer since it was rebuilt, there is plenty of
electricity left in this truck, even without the official
'Lightning' designation.
Inside, we find a fully restored black leather interior, complete
with red diamond-stitched seat trim. A power driver's seat sits
ahead of a factory dashboard, upgraded with Dakota Digital
analog-style gauges. A center console provides extra storage, while
a Pioneer AM/FM/AUX head unit offers Bluetooth connectivity,
allowing for far more entertainment options than when this truck
was new. Simple dial-based HVAC controls make it easy to put on the
heat or air conditioning without having to take your eyes of the
fast-approaching road ahead.
Under the hood, we find a wicked 5.0-liter supercharged Coyote V-8
engine. With its performance-focused heads and cam, the Whipple
blower will push you back in your seat as only a supercharger can.
A full stainless steel dual exhaust, complete with long tube
headers and sweet-sounding FlowMaster mufflers give this muscle
truck the ability to flex whenever you feel the urge. That massive
power is routed through a 10R80 ten-speed automatic transmission
before heading out to the 8.8-inch rear end and on to the rear
wheels, where big 22-inch KRNC wheels shod in 305/40ZR-22 Nitto
rubber wait to put that power to the pavement. Up front, a
staggered set of 20-inch KRNC wheels wrapped in 275/40ZR-20 rubber
handles steering duties with aplomb.

This 1998 Ford F-150 Supercharged Coyote Restomod rides on an
aftermarket suspension comprised of coil springs, shocks, and a
sway bar up front, while traction bars, leaf springs, and shocks
make up the rear. Four-wheel power disc brakes feature
cross-drilled and slotted rotors at all four corners, ready to
scrub off speed at a moment's notice. If you missed out on the
original version of Ford's supercharged pickup truck, as it turns
out, it seems Lightning can indeed strike twice. But don't expect a
third time, so don't wait another second, call today!
