I was a little concerned it’s literally just a few degrees off from the drag link. I called pmf and they said it wasn’t near as critical unlike the 05 up trucks.

Well finally getting somewhere with the exhaust honestly almost wish I had built a 4in downpipe for it. But as big a project as this truck is I just didn’t feel like adding another project so for this project anyway 3in downpipe it is.

Cab is mounted on the cart and just about completely stripped installed new hood hinges and hood springs. Hopefully have a better set of doors and new door hinges installed. Then install the obs solutions mirror conversion mounts.

Well so far the obs solutions tow mirror brackets fit pretty decently much better than others I’ve seen. Doing some testing on my brothers truck before we weld in the set on this truck.
