The neighbors didn't like the 283 with straight pipes, but they're okay with a tow truck in the hood. It's a Holmes 460, can side boom with it and its high and long enough to reach over fences.

Yeah, I can imagine they wouldn't be happy about the straight pipes. Back in the late 90's when I was single and lived in an apartment, I used my '79 Bronco as a daily driver. I decided to have a shop install dual exhaust. I used my buddies new mustang as a gauge to pick mufflers. He had flowmaster 40's and it wasn't too loud so I picked those. I didn't account for his catalytic converters reducing exhaust noise. When I picked up my Bronco, it sounded like a log truck! I was on drill sergeant duty at the time, and usually left for work before 0430 every morning. I was very popular!

I remember all of those commercials. And I remember feeling embarrassed for the people in them! I'll be wearing a bag over my head when I drive mine to town today.

Just saw this longbed to shortbed conversion on Instagram. I’ve never seen someone do it with the toolbox.
