( exhaust idea ) Out the side in front of the rear passenger side tire and straight pipe or single chamber flow master. You could use a flow through magnaflow also ( the cherry bomb style). If you look there's some sheet metal you cut away and there's a straight shot to the side just above the passenger side front leaf bracket. Quite a few have done it at this location.

RMC,
Of the mufflers you mentioned which one is the quietest?

Robert that real estate is usually taken up by the upper shock mount unless I'm thinking of the wrong location

Autofab motor mounts are not simply bolt on.

Sry man just saw this. The magnaflo have a vroomy sound at normal pitch. The flow masters seem to be bassier. Both are audible when on the gas. You could go for a longer magnaflo can style and it shouldn't be that loud lul that makes you drowsy. I'd go magnaflo if you want quieter.

The front beams are in and the cage has been mounted.

Think the Beam c/o mounts will need to be moved...???

Will see

Are you the one that bought the bedsides from Andy (Slvrslk)? Hopefully as no paint needed on them if so!

Nope, that would be me. Already started fixing the sml glass scratches and cracks.

Well you got a good deal then. Just unfortunately you'll have to paint them most likely. As you know they match the truck above perfectly

Measuring front end before removing fenders.

ChiroMatt · Post by **ChiroMatt** » Sun Sep 14, 2014 6:20 am

Getting the front end burned in.
Cycled several times, lots of measuring.
This is my first TTB build or any build for that matter, learning lots.

Passenger side. Hopefully got the full bump set up right.

Trimming and hanging the rear glass.

Almost cried cutting up such a clean rust free body, sniff sniff!

So much for the original sleeper idea...

Haha, I'm over it, looks awesome with the wider glass!

Any ideas or thots on painting and colors???
