    I was going to say.. if you guys are ordering T800 and W900’s, ask your salesman if you can ensure that the exhausts are plumbed to both stacks. I was thrown off but in a good way when I noticed both stacks were connected on mine. Not sure if I asked for it and forgot or if it’s standard practice now.. I usually always see these cabs with one burnt exhaust stacks on the passenger side, and that’s what I was expecting with mine.

    Well today I got word that my truck has been completed. So sometime next week it should get here and then go to get EPU installed. So truck was built on 3/17/22 and was put on hold after missing some parts. It was completed today 3/31/22 so took two weeks to get it finished after coming off the line.

    i wouldn’t personally but that’s because of what it took me to fill all my holes in when I removed mine,
    change the bumper to solid, maybe the plain cab/bunk panels and roll, maybe a little pin stripping and silver leaf if you want to break it up but I like “plain” trucks, everyone adds and adds until it looks tacky unless you do something really special, like high dollar paint or such.

    my new bucket should be here this week, ordered it in early December.

    Can’t wait to see photos! And yes I’m trying to keep it streamline but clean. My sticker lady ended up putting this dark aqua pin striping on the chrome of my DOT letters and it’s really brought out the charcoal metallic. I think I’ll take your advice and not throw those extenders on mine, hopefully I can order another one and spec it just slightly different than what I got. I was going to replace the marker lights with those bullet style ones but maybe I’m too in love with the rig cause now I don’t want to change anything but throw on a visor. lol

    Beautiful Truck. Enjoy it. Only new once. Only original once. A visor always looks good. Congratulations on getting it. Good choice.

    I heard it depends on if the exhaust is routed under or over the frame rail……

    The nicest thing about my truck right now are the new decals I got last week. Only thing is they match the paint I want, not the paint I have :biggrin_25523::biggrin_25523::biggrin_25523::biggrin_25523::biggrin_25523:
