Exhaust
Any one out there that has dual exhaust on a short bed I would love to see some pictures. With the fuel tank on the drivers side is a problem. I have headers on and no cats. I want to bring it out in the rear if possible. I thought of hanging the two flow masters vertical, side by side next to the fuel takes. Any ideas are welcome. Thanks

Mines a 85 4x4 shortbed with headers, they ran the pipes on the drivers side over to the passinger side and side by side till the cleared the tank, then took it back to the other side. then both pipes turn out after rear wheels.
It's a clean job, the only problem I had was I had to drop the tranny, they pipes were in the way, so had to cut them.

I have seen some shoddy work by midas and bigger shops when running duals.
Other smaller shops have real craftsman that can do this in their sleep.

On my longbed extended cab F-250 I am runnig the headrs and pipes I had on my F-150 stepside. Right off the headers the pipes cross to the outside of the frame rails and the mufflers tuck up towards the cab once outside the frame rails.
I like this design much better than teh standard two muffs mounted vetically on the passenger side under the bed. I have a York compressor on the truck to power air tools and will be putting a large air tank on the passenger side under the bed, inside the frame rails. The spot occupied my most exhaust setups, including the brand new Slowmaster dual setup that was on the truck when I got it.

You just might have to run the duals down the passenger side of the truck and then split seperatly then go out the back

Bob, you can see the lower half of the mufflers particularly since my truck is lifted. Since the engine in this truck is a 351W and the headers and pipes were originally on my 302 truck, the collectors are higher in the truck and I had to angle the pipes off the flanges to clear the transmission crossmember. It doesn't bother me any, but whenever there pipes rot out I'll have the next set bent to tuck up nice out of sight like it did on the 302 truck.
If you look under your truck, right under the doors you will see there is a nice cavity between the rocker panel and frame that will hide a muffler nicely. Any capable exhuast shop (not Midas or any chain shop) should be able to bend up some nice pipes to cross from inside the frame to outside and tuck the mufflers up nicely. This setup is ideal for sidepipes, or just dumps in front of the tires. It's nice because it gives you all that room on the passenger side under the bed to mount any number of useful items. In my case it's a perfect spot for an air tank.

Mine is run the same way, crosses under the frame just behind the rear spring mount. I thought I would lose ground clearance that way, but I actually gained several inches over the factory setup. I never thought about all the room it left me...would be a good place for an air tank to power some train horns.
