Please don't put the 'smoke stacks' in the bed

Render is deceptive, as that's not the actual location of the stacks, supposed be infront of cover. Not to blow black smoke! Those that roll coal are truly not running efficient.

However changes have already been made to the design!

Swap out those mirrors with the new ones when you can.

I didn't figure you would tune the engine to roll coal, but the stacks coming up through the bed are just a poor design all the way around. In edition to reducing the physical space in the bed of the truck, you're also limiting what you can put back there because the stacks get HOT. So if anything accidentally rests against them at any point, you're creating an inherent fire hazard...

Gorgeous truck man. It's really sad how much they cost these days. You could buy two corvettes for the price of one Duramax anymore.

Yeah 60k if I had to guess could be 65K its Dually. But its a lot more useful then a vette. Hopefully its a work truck and its helping pay for it self.

Sold my last truck "BigThug" (2011 Chevy Silverado 3500) for $53K and paid with taxes etc $62K for new truck!

Parts arriving this week and will be finished within 60 days! We opted not to do the stacks for emissions issues!
