It's like a street rod superduty. It's pretty awesome. What would a mild 1 2 drop look like? or 2 3. I wonder...

It connects to the air pump and the other end connects to more tubs, that connect to the bypass valves and the air injection stuff into the head i believe. Mine rusted to hell and is just missing a chunk in the middle. I'd just rip this crap out but when i get this thing running it needs to be emissions tested. Anyway this truck i guess turned into another project vehicle at this point. Don't think i'll be driving by the time i want too. Got to swap the frame out. Do the floor pans.

Anybody got a good recommendation for a good DD vehicle, good gas mileage, cheap insurance for a 18yo(not that i can get cheap insurance), cheap to buy. F it. I'm just gonna take the bus to college and have my gf drive me the rest of the time, till this thing is on the new frame and i fix the floor pans, and that stupid air pipe lol. I don't feel like digging into my savings to get another vehicle.

From what they are saying, I don't think "hot" even covers it. Good morning gents.
