heres the cross tube without shield.https://www.dieseltruckresource.com/...F00071-med.JPG

 

i appricate that. and I, at first didnt like the idea of the cross pipe in the bed. i wanted to split it under the bed and bring it up through 2 holes on each side. but now that i got it in there i dont miss the 6" it took up.

and yeah i reckon we are even

 

Then you're looking at shortening the front of the bed so the wheel wells line up with the tires..

 

Well i am just gonna put them in the bed,since i am gonna tear that bed off in about two years,when i get out of Community College for Diesel Mechanic.I am hopfully gonna start up a portable welding and repair bussiness for like loggers and truckers,So i am gonna convert to a flat bed with tool boxes along the sides.

 

Well I just got a pm on another site from a guy with a 98.5 dually,and he installed the stacks on the outside.HE didnot like the look and when i seen the pic neither did I,so he is gonna convery it to inside the bed and then give me a pic of that(so i can see how it looks on a dually).Since i am building the system my self what is the best way to "Y" the pipe in the bed to go to each stack?When i am done i am gonna make a box the goes around the whoe thing so when you look ing the bed it looks like to pipes coming out the top of a box..

Post that picture so we can all see it too.

 

If you are still looking for ideas, take a look at my photos. I have my stacks coming from under the frame between my flatbed and cab. I had the bed set back 5 1/2 inches just for the stacks. But my exhaust comes up and around my fuel tank. i put in a 4 inch down pipe straight to the 5 inch stacks. Just some ideas for ya.

 

I like the look of that,that is proly what i will do once i convert over to a flatbed.And i have one question...What is with the neon lights?

 

Alright, I take it all back. I used to think outside stacks looked stupid! Wow, these are done very very very well. Next time some one asks about them, I'll say you can only do them if they turn out like Fourknee's!!! Very good looking truck. I like the lights....kinda reminds me of mine!

 

They only loook good with them mounted between the cab and the bed like fourknee's,but on the outside they look like crap.

 

Thanks for the coments. My theory is the more lights the better. Everybody around town calls it a christmas tree.

 

Where did you get your bed?

 

Had it custom made from local welder.

 

Yup heard that before too....(see the gallery)

 

fourknee, all those lights, and no cab lights??? what gives man!? those should be the first ones you installed!
