Washed up the ole girl.
Took off the pipe organ stacks, 4 4" stacks..

And put a single 5" out the side for now.
I like the way it turned out, and the way it sounds!

I also put interior out of a 99 I think in, and new headliner..

heres some pictures!

Wow. That looks a lot better than the stacks. That truck has come a long way since I last saw it.

Nice looking truck, I like the pipe exiting in front of the wheel.

Any pics of the "pipe organ", sounds kinda cool.

Nice job on the interior, and exhaust. Truck looks much better now, especially the inside. I am taking my stacks off this weekend, I really like them but they are just to loud for the amount of driving I do.

Any fab work involved in the seat/door panels or was it a straight forward swap?

I don't have any drone at all below 130 km/h , if you need to travel faster than that , then you need an airplane. I have a 4" down pipe and 5" straight to the back corner.

Not exactly.

I figured I'd be able to use the mounts off the old seats and mount the new seats on the old mount.
But the back part of the seat is built into the new mount so all I would of been able to remove is the bottem (where your butt sits).
So there it added about 4" to height, and there is a 4" gap for the front bolts that I'm going to get a tube and put between the mount/floor w/ a washer on each end and put a longer bolt down through.

As the panals go, once again the switches had to be changed, and the doors on the truck I got it off of where squared at the bottem corner so I had to saw off a little bit to get them to close, and im going to fiberglass it. And paint it to match.

I got the nerfbars, for $30 bucks, both of them, they retail for like $200 new.
I got the seats, two headlight buckets, headliner for $100 bucks off of a local guy who rebuilds cars n sells them.
All the local junk yards wanted $150.00 just for a seat .

Now all I need is to finish up the interior, get my CD deck in there, get my trailer tow mirors, and put my speakers in and the inside should be good to go.

Thanks for all the positive comments!
