Re: my 64

Cool lookin project you've got going. I was checking out the fuel cell ....I should have mounted mine that way. I put the 'dump' on the side and it interfered with the bed support.

Re: my 64

I'd just keep them. It all bolts together which adds a little more strength up there.

Re: my 64

hey.. truck looks and sounds good.. but im guessin you still want street power... i know it doesnt matter when the cutouts are open, but when they arent, you lose power by having ur mufflers too close to your headers.. your supposed to move them as far away from them as you can... just my .02
