All G1's have two tanks- not a real fan of the two doors but most people racing them have removed one of the tanks and fill the second door. You could also just have race gas in the second tank:tu:

I knew something didn't look quite right, but I'm really not too worried about finding the correct one. A regular 93-95 F-150 bed will work, right? :cool:

I thought that body style was the same from like 89-96 as long as its a SWB-

Ah.... I've only lusted over a G1.... and could only afford an F-250 back then....

Looks like the current bed is staying. Most of the ones I've found are dented and they go for around $800-$900 each with the tailgate. :eek: Besides, I did find out that all F-150 beds of that era were the same, so you are correct Steve. There was no Lightning specific bed, just a standard F-150 bed. :D

Oh yeah, the truck is running like a top after replacing the MAP sensor. Also has an MSD coil that I didn't know about. :burnout:

The truck went to the shop today to get a tune-up and compression check. If everything turns out OK, we will just be focusing on the cosmetic stuff. I still don't understand the second fuel door stuff. I think Mark needs to get out to Redline this Sunday and join us at the TMCC event. He's obviously been working too hard. :cool:

I'll be at Redline, and on the fuel door stuff. Doesn't it seam odd to have two fuel doors? Does a Gen 1 have two tanks?

Mark

Dual tanks were standard for the Gen I. They have a front/back switch mounted on the dash just left of the steering wheel. :cool:

Yo Dennis, how many of the little black wheel caps do you have? I am missing three that I know of.
Do you have a source for these? I will try Ford tomorrow. I know that you can get "vulcanized" chrome ones out in California for about $20 each. I might have Randy make me 4 out of Billit!

If you decide to replace the stock ones, I've got 4 extra. On a side note, Gen I parts are really cheap. I got a tailgate, both taillights, front turn signal, and front running light for $200 (used of course). :cool:

Let me know if you need me to chase anything down-there's a really good Ford truck salvage yard in Kennedale just a few miles from my house

Thanks Steve. All I have left to find is a front bumper/valance and a rear bumper. I'd prefer to find a tube bumper and modify it to fit below the tailgate like yours. :cool:

OK Dennis, save those four caps for me. I still have a box of parts coming from my deal that I haven't seen yet and the caps may be in there. I also have a complete set of new brakes front and back. I will keep an eye out for a tube bumper. Congrats on finding your parts!

Hey Steve, thanks for the info about the parts at Kennedale. I just can't get over how cheap the Gen 1 stuff is after going through a Modular build up! I will be in the market for a good 2400 troque converter. I am planning to talk to Terry about that when I get the truck out there.

Make sure that all the parts on the RED Gen1 are intact, because I don't want to be chasing any parts:nono:
