rented a u haul car trailer and go the truck over to the muffler shop to fix the magnaflow kit...junk fitment by the way...lol got everything up to the exit side of the mufflers. i think im just gonna turn them down in front of the axle and call it finished. it does have a nice deep rumble to it and i think ill be happy with the sound.

Also disassembled the bed and dropped it off at the body shop....hopefully it wont be too long until i get it back...

What year fuel door did you use in your rear fender? I'm starting to work on my bed and would like to get this welded in first.

So does this mean you are out of the rented garage or do you still have more to do there?

Good to hear. That was a good chunk of your truck funds going into the large storage unit rental fees.

Truck is looking great. Hope you get the bed back soon.
