Recreating my highschool truck, the way I always wanted it to be

[Beason]

It has factory exhaust back to the muffler, which has been replaced with a Flowmaster. It originally ran to the passenger rear fender, but I cut it off just before the axle with some turn downs for now. It will all eventually be replaced.

I might be crazy but I love the way tbi engines sound with true dual 40series flows and a h pipe, glad you cut the side exit off.

Should i bedline, or get one of those rubber mats like used to be popular in the 90s?

color matched bedline may be nice, but i dont know what color yet. lol

bed liner looks really good though when its fresh. when its grey and faded, not so much.

I'm a fan of bed liner, but not just in the bed. When it's done right it looks great and if you get the right kind, it lasts.

Check out what Speed Liner has, so far as I've seen they're the only brand of liner that can do the full spectrum of automotive colors. The rest I've seen are just tints so the color is dull.

This is a jeep from a local shop and I be believe they used speed liner, though grey isn't the best example for what I mean

Here's a good example from speedliners website

My point being, you can get liner with color that both matches and pops in your bed if you want. Just depends on your goals and preferences.

Got the wheels polished up, and the parts laid out. Tomorrow I start the drop kit!

How do you get these springs in?! Do I have to use a spring compressor?

From what I remember doing mine, just a floor Jack under the ball joint and a pry bar keeping the spring tensioned in the lower pocket.

Just put a chain or ratchet strap to keep the spring from removing your jaw if it pops out.
