I'm just looking for your opinion on this build. I'm putting together a '94 gen1 lightning to use as a daily driver, so I frequent the National Lightning Owners Club website a bit. There is a guy who came in a few nights ago as a new lightning owner and said he was building a Divco. If your not sure what that is visit here Divco Club of America - Home Now I like hot rods of all kinds and I don't mind cutting on them at all. This guy comes in and says he went out and bought this clean lightning to use as a donor and he's basically using just the drivetrain and sitting the Divco on the lightning chassis. Ok so he goes in a lightning enthusiast website and says he's cutting up a clean one...that sounds like a problem. He goes into a place where people go to great lengths to restore these trucks and rubs cutting up a clean one in thier faces. He goes in with the intentions of selling off all the parts he doesn't need. The main issue I have is there isn't much difference between a standard F150 and a Gen1 lightning in the first place, and all the parts that are different that he would be using are easily available without cutting up a truck. Some say who cares cause the gen1 isn't worth much, but how many of the vehicles that we hot rod or restore were worth a lot when they were as new as the 93-95 gen1's are to us now? I just don't understand cutting up a limited production vehicle just to build another when it would be easy to find parts elsewhere and preserve a limited production vehicle for future generations. To me it would be like going out right now and hunting a '57 fuel injected belair just to use the drivetrain in a model-a or something. There are other options. The guy isn't hot rodding the lightning, he is destroying it to build another truck. He says money is the main factor because he bought it at a deal and there will be a certain cool factor about having his Divco on the lightning chassis. It seems to me it would be it would be cooler to locate the parts for the Divco elsewhere and have a hot rod Divco and see someone else enjoy the lightning instead of cutting up two desirable vehicles only to have one left. It seems that anyone who is into hot rods would be out to preserve these vehicles for future generation, but instead a lot of folks say it's him and his money let him do what he wants. Isn't there some sort of principle of the matter here that counts? Here's the build if you are interested. New owner here - and I'm sure some of you are going to be angry. 1994 - The National Lightning Owners Club Inc
