Re: 68 S/C update.....
I say run with it.. While I love the truck without, it really should throw some youngsters into a tizzy when you have smoke billowing out the back hatch!.. and all they see are the black marks in front of them..

Re: 68 S/C update.....
A friend of mine recently bought a 2014 GMC with your combo and says he hates it, the transmission that is. Says it is all time searching for gears. When you slow down instead of coasting it downshifts and increases engine speed and is really annoying. When he reported it to dealer, they said it is a common complaint and can't anything be down about it. Have you experienced similar problems?
Thanks,

Re: 68 S/C update.....
I like it more than I thought I would. Every since I saw a pic of my grandpa's truck with a shell on it, I've been sorta looking for one.

Re: 68 S/C update.....
looking good, this has been a long road for you. Looks like it starting in 2009. Is it all up and running?

Re: 68 S/C update.....
Does the camper door come flying up from a hard launch?
Looks either way.

Re: 68 S/C update.....
As most people take camper shells off. I also found one to fit my step side that I had. I picked it up for free to boot. I did have to clean it up and paint it tho. I am glad I had it because I went and got my console stereo and it started raining cats and dogs on the way back from getting it. They may make it look like an old mans truck but they are functional. And you can store tools or parts in the back if needed too. Then take it off when you get tired of it.

Re: 68 S/C update.....
Got the passenger side door seals changed and the vent window rubber changed out. Man that was fun, NOT! If you are going to try this, I would highly recommend having an extra set of hands. Luckily my bride of 24.5 years was willing to help out,

Re: 68 S/C update.....
Yesterday I had some Magnaflows installed and my electric cutouts put back on. I really like the new sound. It's a little deeper than the 50 Series Flowmasters, but not as loud (if that makes sense,

Re: 68 S/C update.....
Very nice. Are you gonna treat us to a video of the Magnaflows and with the cutouts? You know when you get a few spare minutes. We need a little motivation.

Re: 68 S/C update.....
I used 12256 - 5 x 8s. You can also get 11256 that are 4 x 9s. I think they both sound about the same. Just a little different dimension depending on your spatial needs.

Re: 68 S/C update.....
The ones I had on my old Dodge and the ones on my 02 didn't change much. To me it was indistinguishable between off the rack and 6 years later.

I feel like mine may be a little louder than they were initially as well, but then again, maybe my foot is just a little heavier.

Re: 68 S/C update.....
So far I am happy with the sound. They aren't as raspy as the the 50 series Flowmasters but have a deeper tone. On another note, with the help of boardmember DayJ1, I think we have figured out a Cruise Control setup for my truck. I have all the parts and will install in next week,
