    I'm not a fan of tall stacks anyway so I'd cut them down to right around cab height. And idk what height the truck would be overall at that point. Somewhere around 11.

    So 13th at 70 is only 1400, and maybe lower. But thats to low for a detroit. I like mine humming at 1600 all day long. With the 17702 turbo it needs more rpm. I really need to put more fuel to it. Thats why most guys run 1350rpm and say a detroit dont pull. You hit the hill at 1600-1700 its a big difference.

    These days you would be mostly ok. But its some old elevators, like my main customer. My stack is 11'3" and one shoot if I came in from the north I would hit it. I have a raised flat top. Not much but I can almost stand up in it. You never will.

    He came up a LOT when I was truck hunting. If it's listed @ $35k, it's a solid $9k truck with $2500 worth of shine dumped on.
