what do you think? i have to paint the band clamp...i didnt have a choice but to put it in the bed. remember that rule measure twice and cut once? yea well...i measured where i wanted the stack, drilled the hole, and forgot the brace for the fuel tank was in the way :mad: It was fun working around that. i have to put my flex pipe on the stack and oval it alittle so it would clear the brace then put my 5" 90 on and hook it to the front pipe. I was so pissed but iw all worked out ;) I will paint the clamp and spin the bolts to the back.

i dont have one but i used half of a 5" exhaust clamp. i drilled to holes in the top bed rail, stuck it though and put nuts on it. I have to paint the nuts still. I got clamps with the stack but im going to use that at the bottom. I never got that done tonight. I have to adjust the stack alittle and drill the holes and mount the bottom clamp.

Cool, but a stack looks so much better below the top of the cab the "Florida Stack" is #1

yeah my stack is right at the top of the cab. but you cant see it from the front. the way i held mine straight is before i had it powdercoated i welded a 90 degree elbow on the back of the stack then bolted another 90 degree elbow to the bed upside down from the one welded to the stack and bolt them together. i guess you could bend a u shaped and weld it to the stack
