Amazing build, and an even more amazing looking truck. Very nicely done.

Truck looks great!

How did you cut the frame for the drop to fit the newer bumper?

 

[Tonka350]

THANKS ALL, I really love how the truck is turning out, but a few more changes are set into motion when I finish the exterior and interior, but the interior won't be COMPLETE until around February, I've got to order a few ( 5 )-7" tv's and new kings rezi shocks with taxes.

so I'm in a great debate guys..........do I keep the 5" single exhaust and convert it to 5" dual exhaust with 7" tips...( about 250 bucks total ) or do I put an 8" stack ( about 160 bucks with the parts I just found ).....which one would be better? the only thing I'M SUPER WORRIED ABOUT is the soot on the new paint.

That roll pan looks damn good. :thumbup:

Not to derail but what are the specs on that OBS?

I'd do duals with 7" tips over a single stack. Your rig looks clean & a set of duals out the back would help it keep that look.

 

[jshalala]

Keep the exhaust you have, I like the look of that one single tip. Looks mean and clean. If you have to change it go with the duals, they are more rare than stacks. Anyone can throw a stack on a diesel

thanks Cat, I tried lol...I think the duals are more and more effective than anyone gives note for...but I'm worried about exhaust "distribution"

as for the stats on the OBS.... it's a MINT condition 1997 f350 crew cab long bed with 4?" of lift, in these pics they are 36x15.50x16 dc fc2's and 16x12 eagles. the engine is BONE STOCK at 245k miles ( before I deployed ), he runs a dp f5 chip in it ( not sure of his tunes anymore )

he's now running 37x13.50x20 toyo mt's with 20x10 xd machined diesels and nfab step bars in black....the new look is AMAZING compared to this look...the truck drove and rode like a cadillac. the interior is just as perfect as the exterior and all in all it looks like it just rolled off the show room floor all together.

I think I'm going to go with duals but I have to paint my exhaust ( since it's aluminized and part of it will be "chromed" so I want to paint the exhaust black but not sure what paint to use.
