So... you bought a new truck?

That looks great. And I can't detect any leaning in the pics.

Love it Abe! Nice, nice, nice!! One thing I do recall about my original tail pipe is that was short and pointed straight at the ground rather than being visible from the side of the truck.

Thanks Joe, that's what I was thinking and figured my eyes are bad. It looks pretty straight to me.

Abe, is gradually moving to the dark side. First he installs a dome light which was not original to the truck. Now the tailpipe sticks out. Next thing we know he will be bagging, chopping and channeling it.

Did you forget I am putting 6 volt halogen headlights in?

Thanks to all for the nice comments and compliments.
