Lol nope its a 3.5 inch dp off of a 96 7.3 van. That's the extra half inch of heat shield.

MOOSE_MACHINE 12-04-2015 11:21 PM

Lol. Prolly why it took so long to get in there. Funny thing is, I had a 3" dp you could've had lying around.

Alec Blanchard 12-04-2015 11:40 PM

Well... If I'd of known.. anyways, I'm impressed with it now, it's made its self some room behind the firewall after I did a few "boosted launches" lol. 3.5 leaves room for egts to be improved anyhow and I only paid 15 bucks for it at a wrecker so I guess I'm not at a loss there! :-X22

MOOSE_MACHINE 12-04-2015 11:41 PM

Lol good times. Where are you in the valley. I'm in chilliwack

Alec Blanchard 12-04-2015 11:44 PM

No **** lol, Maple Ridge! I grabbed some fenders at pick-a-part for my truck 2 weeks ago.

MOOSE_MACHINE 12-05-2015 12:06 AM

Saw a box in the about then. Rust free and no dents. And I had no time. Son of a ***** lol

Alec Blanchard 12-05-2015 12:19 AM

Was it 2 tone red and gray? 460 2wd ext cab? I think I'm gonna go back and buy that box }> cause that's the last part I need to "bypass" bodywork. You know like bondo and dent filling of sorts. Mind my bullet holes too lol.

MOOSE_MACHINE 12-05-2015 07:17 AM

Lol no it wasn't 2 tone. But if we're thinking of the same 2 tone one double check the wheel wells. I think that one might have hidden treasures ;). I'm planning on seeing if it's still there sometime today. If it is I'm going to try and make it back tomorrow

Alec Blanchard 12-05-2015 12:25 PM

I'll wait till they come on sale again then go back. No I don't know of the one you're thinking of, what colour? The 2 tone one has the fender trim and there's a royal blue f150 in der that's got the smooth chrome box rails. Can't wait to go back now :D

Hey you should buy me that 2 tone one for Christmas! :-X24

MOOSE_MACHINE 12-05-2015 06:11 PM

Hahaha. The one I saw was blue. The sides were perfect. The inside had some dents. But the underside looked new. No dirt or crud packed in anywhere. I didn't make it in there today though. Maybe tomorrow.

Alec Blanchard 12-05-2015 06:43 PM

So, went to Surrey to look at that 6.0, bought it, and it ain't actually that bad.:-X22

MOOSE_MACHINE 12-05-2015 07:02 PM

See if you say that in a month :-kneeslap

Alec Blanchard 12-05-2015 09:01 PM

Well I'm gonna sell it and get 10k+:-X03
