lol... prolly.. he uses his mainly as a work truck.. has a cap on the back too and still at stock height.. looks like yours has a tool box in the back..

i like stacks i just wish they didnt actually come up in through the bed... i want them to to come up the sides of the bed and have the corner of the beds contour around them like they do on some semi's...

yep, she does. i'm sure stacks could be done that way if you really wanted to...prolly way more work though. not actually too crazy about putting holes in my bed, but oh well. i want stacks more than i don't want to drill through the bed lol. i already put 15 holes in the cab roof, what's a few more??

Lived here my whole life and I don't think I've been down that way but a handful of times. . .Muddy Creek road to Lovitt's to go fishing (I think it's all posted now) and once to the Commissary to check out a diesel F250 last year

Oh, and I got lost down there once at the very end of princess anne, looking at some farmers old F350. . .

Lol!

Never did go to Johnson's much, cost too much. . .same thing with Ingrams. . .

Ebay is almost always a good bet though if you can get cheap shipping. Got my Dana 60 front off of there and a guy to deliver it for like $615

Anyways, I think the stacks will be freakin' sweet! Going for the Semi style or just the big 5"-6" stainless tubes turned and trimmed at the top?

And how is the mileage of the PS? Just curios. . .I'm looking to sell my white truck for a gas miser (still, lol). . .but I was also tinkering with either a diesel swap for my 250 or spend some cash on trying to eek an average of at least 15 out of the 460. . .I get 17 mpg in the white truck, so 15 is plenty good. . .

Sorry for the hijack. . .and I'm guessing you installed the cab lights yourself then?

i definately agree... if i got stacks id have them turned outward instead of straight tipped... less i could add a flapper at the top (dont know the name of it i always call it a flapper) to keep the rain out.. but most likely id still get in... so might as well have it turned to the sides..

no worries mate... i know ive done it often in the past on other forums.. and will probably do it here at some point...

they'll look pretty much like what's on the green truck in my sig picture, getting mine from the guy who owns that one, they're curved and chrome!

she's around 13-15 right now with a fuel leak...!@#$ sensor just needs a plug and stuff comes up every time i go to mess with it. 17 before the leak went from seep to drip...going for 20+ when i get her a decent air intake, exhaust system, chip.... a lot of the psd guys average 18-20 though
