Project Grande Slam: Coley's Hot Rod Shop

Definitely going to consider the one piece drive shaft. Dad showed me the carrier bearing but I can't remember what it looked like.

Any ideas on my exhaust? I'm not sure if you can tell by the pictures but it runs right out behind the cab, almost directly over the top of where the trailing arm connects. Maybe 3 or so inches wide of this point..

What I'm thinking is to run a 90 straight down, then straight over and put the mufflers outside the frame rails? I'm looking at the round ones from Magnaflow. There's a little room under the bed sides there, then out and turned down in front of the rear tires. Maybe a Cuda style or 94-95 Z28 style tip? Just a flat / rectangle style, almost a Nascar look? I just want it to blend into the side of the truck, low and sleek. Not hanging down or out past the wheel any at all.

Other ideas / pictures? I'm not sure I want to cut my cross member (yet anyway..)
