If you want to convert it to dual exhaust on the back,I have a pair of the factory frame mounted muffler brackets you can have,like the one in your picture. I had a custom made Pro Tech headache rack/box made for mine,and mounted my mufflers directly to it.
Bracket would be too heavy to ship,but if you ever get around the north side of Baltimore,and you want them,let me know,I'll meet you and give them to you.

Lawyer up for the ticket. Get it dismissed or reversed to a none moving violation.
Trust me on this,.. do not pay that ticket with out seeking a lawyer first.
Hurstroshea, KB3MMX, austinmike and 2 others Thank this. -
The rear drives are all rather new with matching cases.
I was thinking of putting the steers on the inner front drives and using the ones from the forward passenger side for the outer front drives.
Am I Wrong?
Than I would buy 4 new drives to replace all of them soon as possible.Rideandrepair and wore out Thank this. -
No,... you can never afford any points. Zero points is how you need your record to be.
This is not a 4 wheeler. This is your livelihood and you need to at least look like a professional on paper.
Hurstroshea and tommymonza Thank this. -
Sorry too late. School is still an option. Didn't think one point was too bad. First speeding ticket in 30 years .
Slowed me down and keeps me on my toes now . Usually I set the cruise for 3 over because the truck likes 68 mph.

Not too concerned about the outside. It has one tank strap I am going to replace. Clean up and paint the other 3.
Take the fifth wheel off and flip it over and clean it up and inspect and possibly rebuild for safety sake.
Grill needs a little love with a tig man. Dolly out the back of the sleeper where the exhaust bent into it in the past.
Black heat paint for the exhaust. About 8 hours under it with a pressure washer and degreaser. New air lines and fuel lines.
Spray bomb the frame and brackets as soon as it's degreaser to keep the rust off. It's rather rust free for21 yo truck.
2 New LED headlights and LED tail lights .
Run over the wiring and secure.
Possibly polish up the wheels and tanks.
Make it a clean old Survivor.
But the interior is going to look brand new.DougA Thanks this. -
You have much to learn padawan.
Call a lawyer that is local to where you got the ticket. Explain that you paid the ticket and now you are catching grief with your insurance and carrier. Tell him you need that ticket striked from your record.
With no tickets in 30 years it should not be a problem.

I don't see a problem with that plan. Depending on how the sreers match up to those 2 drives. Other option is just put the steers together on front left. I would just not put 2 brand new 30/32 tread depth on one side with 25-30% tires on the other side.
tommymonza Thanks this.
