Nice stacks!

Get a new bumper and valence panel and she'll look like new.

hey thanks guys The stacks only cost me 40 bucks. I have a friend who owned a semi and replaced his exhaust so I snagged the leftovers. The truck isn't as clean as it appears theres a lot of damage to the passenger side from the po. I will update and get more shots eventually. Something with a better background than the carwash!

I see alot of potential there. Really nice truck. I think it would look cleaner with the stacks about 6" shorter. Thats JMO though.

I disagree with the stacks being shorter than they are. It looks good when you fill em with some pure black smoke.
Although, I hate to see somebody with stacks on there truck that are 2 feet taller than the whole truck.
Looks Great,
Wheelo

Once again thanks guys, it means alot. That thing has been bringin me down lately, replaced everything for the rear brakes from the ABS controler down $400, found out the u-joints in the axle shafts on the front are bad$? and I still can't figure out the whole smoke problem(probably cracked exhaust seats don't want to admit it though.) Anyway the stacks are 6in. and I don't really dig them sticking so far up but they are reduced to 5in and want to keep it that way. Plus who can beat an almost free system

Nice... Personally I would hate to get one that was perfect - what would you work on?? That's half the fun! PS - I just replaced my front bumper - about $100. When you remove the bumper, take a long 1x2 or something and lay it across the bumper mounts. Then you can straighten and level them BEFORE you mount the bumper. (I wish I had known that before I replaced my bumper... twice)
