Yep it is a long wait. I have an old 1993 f 250 that I have owned for many years which the lightning will replace so it is not imperative that I have it now. I have many other project keeping me busy for the next year so I am sure it will go by fast. Who knows may be the supply chains will loosen up and I will get it sooner. That would be nice. I am just happy to be able to get one at all.
