Wish me luck!

We pulled the camper off last night and I've never seen the inside of a box as clean and straight as this truck. The front panel is 100% straight and there is not a ding or dent on the inside. I think they never hauled a thing with that truck other than that camper. I drove it for the first time last night and its really nice. Proper floor padding and under hood padding make this truck many times quieter than my last one. I almost can't hear the motor except at a stop. ( put the sawsall away Pete, it came with a straight pipe) Color me very happy.

I was looking forward to it too. It sits soooo much higher than the Jetta.

Makes me jealous as mine isn't quite so quiet with it's straight pipe

I've ran across a few I/c trucks that are REALLY quiet.

Us "normal 1stgen.org people" usually screw that up with adding timing.

I have a 4 inch pipe just past the t-case then 5 inch through a drilled out PS converter, it is super quiet.

This is a non I/C truck (built 10-90). I think part of the reason its so quiet is a proper hood pad, floor padding and door and window seals that work. Plus, it might just be quiet to me - my last truck didn't have any floor or hood padding and the door seals were pretty bad.

First, I can't figure out what a PS converter is
Did you run custom or buy a kit?

[1STGENFARMBOY]

converter is off of a 99 power stroke, my pipe even the down pipe is all home made in the barn...

don't ever think I aint cheep.

That's not only being cheap but also crafty

Here its all cleaned up without the camper.



And one to of the super clean bed.

[RCCUMMINS89]

That's a good find.

Dang ....that's going to make you a nice truck.




I found a pic where you can kinda see the ford converter.

Thanks! The Powerstroke makes sense now...I once owned one

The truck looks good Meby. If you make it to SOP (and if I get my act together on paint) they'll be two blue 2wds present

Thanks. I'm not sure if I can make it yet. the show that kept me away last year is on the same weekend again. I might come Friday and leave Saturday noon or something. We'll see.
