Mike, Skip,
(Skip, the lightening is an F150 stepside, 5.4L with a supercharger. One of the
mags did a fun comparison between it and a corvette when it came out ;-)
It looks like it would be modified because of the supercharger, and it would be
bumped up two classes in motor to A, so you would be up against normally asp.
460s
etc.
They allow flat box caps, as well as dropped or removed tailgates. OK
aerodynamicists; here's a question; Which option is cleaner??
They say covers are allowed as long as they are 'no higher than the edge of the
pickup bed...aftermarket bed caps are allowed but must not allow any aerodynamic
advantage'.
Could your 'tarp or panel' start behind the cab at the top of the box and slope
down to the rear edge of the box? (maybe a few inches ahead for a 'lip'?)
That's
my instinctive idea as the cleanest.
Cheers,
Rick
(plain old 4.6l F150)
