Truck looks awesome man! So what was the original color of the truck? Also what are the plans for the interior?

Could you take a somewhat close up of the door to see the handle better? I think I might try and go that route also and loose the majority or the chrome.
It's just smooth surround ptm with a chrome pull. Idk if I have a closer pic but I'll look

Truck looks great.

Turn the Blades around.

Chop em forward. Me n Brancifort got commended so many times at Scheids for mine being forward. Looks different
They're sold but I'd never do that. I hate directional wheels going the wrong way. Pet peeve of mine. People say "it's different" no it's just backwards imo haha

Forgatio just introduced an 8 Lug wheel.. unless its not new and i just saw it for the first time.
Yeah they've had 8 lug wheels but you're talking about that 26x14 they just introduced. It's massive, just like the price tag. $10k for a set is what I'm hearing..... no way in hell, count me out lol

The original was the tan, I forgot the color code but you can see it in the picture of the interior completely gutted

Can someone explain the 'cone lyfe'? I'm not a flatbiller, so I don't understand

I can see you'll be that one annoying guy with nothing positive to contribute.. You should've been swallowed

There are things with this truck that aren't my style but you've done a great job bringing it all together. I like the fact that you stayed with the chrome! Subtle touches look great. I admire your thought into this rig.

I too am curious about the cone in the bed? Serious question and not being a douche.

Also, if its an 06, how were you able to mount up the factory 99-04 16" wheels?? I assume spacers?

its not a tip, its a stack. and it works on the truck. big truck needs a big exhaust. and ive never personally seen another one like it before. truck looks awesome man.
Plenty of people had that back in 08. I had Cummings Buddys that ran it at the same angle as a stock exhaust and it looked great. They used 6x36 and it looked like a 6" exhaust unless you got under it and looked. Stacks point up. Not hanging off the back like a limp dick.

Thank you, I can respect and appreciate that. The wheels don't clear, they're only on there threaded about hand tight. The truck isn't going anywhere so it won't hurt. But I picked up some factory 18s from a 6.4 Saturday to throw on

I dig the color! Any plans for an '11+ bed?
I'm also curious about the cone now lol
Thanks and no I have no plans or desire to swap the bed. The wheel opening isn't a huge deal for me right now

The color was something we mixed up, custom created. The front end is really a lot of cutting is the hardest part, then lining it all up and making it stay there lol

As for the cone everyone, it really has no meaning. Jus thought it looked cool and it pisses people off for no reason

Interesting. I'd like to see all those trucks...
And it's a stack, I don't think there's any form of legislature designatin which way to run it. But hey, at least my limp dick is big :pimp:

And the closer truck ran 10s with a vp44

neither one of those are 36" tips. i've seen those before, those are 21" my buddy has one on his 7.3 ran the same way.... does look good tho, and again not similar to mine at all

Kinda like mine, with how it sits.. even though mine is not a stack you can't see the end where it downsizes (one thing i hate). Not identical, but similar. I just wish my tip was tucked up more but that's as high as it goes.

The closer one was a "stack" looks like he cut it though I couldn't tell you the length.
