Here are some more pics. Don't make fun of the tail lights. I know they are ugly, they came with the truck and the exhaust is the only thing i could come up with that wouldnt interfere with ground clearance, it was my last option.

Like I said, the stacks weren't my first option. I talked to a few people about my other options and I didnt see any choice. I really want to bag it. I am trying to figure out if it is easier to remove the paint and see if the stock tail light plates are there or if I should go with a different tail light set up. I am wanting to go with a smooth roll pan. Hopefully this summer I will get around to painting it.

if you keep a roll pan on it you can always go with one of theose led tailight strips, that seems to be what a lot of people do, thats most likley a metal plate under the paint where the tailights were.

I am finally getting it ready for paint. I needed to get rid of this gold color. I also got a new normal roll pan for it and put some stock tail lights on it.

I dont have dimensions of the gas engine but i can get some of the cummins. It fits real nice in the engine bay. There is a lot of room on both sides of the engine.

that would be great and did the factory drive shafts work or did you have to use a modified shaft. thanks

I had to shorten my driveshaft by like 2 or 3 inches, but I have the 5 speed trans
