My third van since 73. I bought Lightning new in 83 and immediately started customizing. Many features on Lightning were ideas as a result of many truckins through the years.
Originally built for comfort, camping and truckins, friends pushed me to show her at truckins and car shows. 
Lightning now has 40 trophies.  In 2007 Jo and I Did a complete restoration on Lightning that took 2 years. We kept everything the same except we had all the effects molded in. When Jo and I restored the interior, we kept everything the same except for the old TV/VCR Combo was replaced with a 22 inch plasma and the cassette stereo was replaced with a CD/DVD/MP3 player.
We love to travel, camp and go to truckins. Lightning has been through 38 states and Canada. 
She got her name when I first finished her in 83 a friend said She reminded him of what you say when you see a flash of Lightning in the sky: WOW! Did you see that.
Jo and I would like to Thank everyone for the nice comments on Lightning.

Keep em' Truckin.
OOP & Jo
