Made some progress today to make the back of the truck look more like this



So i got some brass and after a few attempts got the hang of soldering it here was one of the first test fits




I noticed that the top bar was not level so i had to make a few adjustments.. Now i was trying to figure out how to attatch the stacks so i cut off the bottom curve off the stacks (ill later glue them back in the right direction) and made some mount holes to use my exsisting stock stacks with the set of bull pipes from Russ that i have.



they are not going to sit that far back was just testing fitment. here are a few pics of what it will look like after i have Russ make me some air cleaners. i used wood for a mock up.
Before cleaners


With Mock up cleaners




What do you think so far?? Im still working on the fenders. and Still may have those made so they are single and all match. Now im trying to figure out where i am going to put my battery and MFU controls since once mounted i will no longer have acess to the back of the cab..... Any ideas or suggestions??

I would put the battery in between the framerails under the deckplate..you will just have to make the wires longer and to make it easy to charge in the truck..





hope his helps alittle

as far as the mfu switches..I would use knight hauler steps..looks like you added a tool box on the frame and it hides the switches until you open it..

Your fenders look great they are turning out just fine, putting the battery between the frame rails will surely give you that clean look... the exhaust is coming along great...
