She had nice chrome stacks. It was a great looking truck, even though it wasn't a GM or Chevy truck.
Is anyone running exhaust stacks on their truck?
I'd love to see some pictures if you have any.

They came up through the steps on the step side bed. Gave that truck a mean look. I remember in the early 80's that was popular on a lot of ranch trucks with flatbeds in places like Wyoming and Montana. It faded out, now I see the occasional diesel pickup with them running through the bed. Just not as cool looking as the old stepsides with them. | | | | | Joined: Oct 2003 Posts: 363 Member | | Member Joined: Oct 2003 Posts: 363 | My 1.5 ton had stacks that I took off to everyone elses dismay. They were loud right behind my head as far as I was concerned. They looked pretty cool. Maybe I can scrape up a pic. | | | | | Joined: Oct 2002 Posts: 4,066 Bolter | | Bolter Joined: Oct 2002 Posts: 4,066 | big bolt with stacks twin stacks

The Dodge red express was a neat truck tho.
Another quality post.

Rusty Rod and others, The stacks on the truck I saw were just chrome exhaust pipe run up the back. Not those big things with a bug zapper screen wrapped around them. I would probably never run the exhaust like that, but it looked cool on the truck in the magazine. Kind of like the way some of the old school bikers run long exhaust up the back of their bikes. Another way to express oneself! | | | | | Joined: Oct 2002 Posts: 4,066 Bolter | | Bolter Joined: Oct 2002 Posts: 4,066 | a guy in town has a 54 five window GMC with chrome stacks.......looks ok but I prefer them straight out the back.............

I thought it looked neat but only because this was obviously someone who had a jacked up truck for real hard off-roading not just for appearances. Oh, and it only had probably about 6 inches of lift not one of those crazy trucks that you need a 6-foot ladder to get into.
