1976 Ford F250 Rear View Photo - 4Wheel & Off road Magazine Article at Automotive.com

does anyone have anything like that done to their truck? if so, show some pics. i figure ill strengthen the truck if i were to roll, and yet give the truck some sort of functionality when i go off-roading and trailing, let me know what you guys think.

Here are a few ideas I have saved in my pic folder and thanks for a new one that you posted, it looks sharp.

I am liking the tube doors too.

Are you gonna keep the stacks for looks or are you gonna hook them up to your exhaust?

Its a mudder.....

What you mean "looks"? They are hooked up to my fenderwell exit headers with NO mufflers all, nothing but straight pipe.

1st pic is just a fast way to get the noise behind the cab, 2nd pic shows the pipe coming into the side of the stack.

Tucked up close to the underside of the cab to keep it from getting tore off.

Free stacks='s experiment and yea I need to put a H pipe/crossover in there, but.......

They will prob come off when its flat bed time.
