If I remember right you did have the front crossover correct? But you still couldn't completely fit a 5" dp?

Oh I swear I read that you necked it down to 4" right after the firewall or something.

HUGE! Love it. That weld on the dp looks like a robot did it, literally perfect.

Yeah, I've been wondering as well... one of the few builds on here I still followed regularly.

Truck is still a piece of ****.

I don't remember if I've posted since the trans blew early this year. But I lost second gear. I've been driving the truck like that since it happened. I started rebuilding the spare I have and got busy with life ****. Just bought a house, probably will get married.. That kind of stuff. So I haven't had a second to work on the truck. I drive it a ton but don't work on it ever. It sucks but I guess there are more important things in life.

I plan to sell the trick kit off of the truck if anyone is interested. I will be building my own manifolds. PM me if anyone wants the kit. I think I paid 5k for it a year ago. It has about 4,000 miles on it. Maybe less.
