By chance I ran into another STX today while out on a mountain road. He said he's on here but I don't know his user name

Is a fuel selector available? I can build fuel lines.
What about the filler door on the bed?
Cut out and weld in or replacement bed?

I have welded in a door even with a mig lots of sheet metal destortion glue in world be easier but hard to reach. I ran my lines to pull from both tanks but if your running fuel injection you almost have to have two separate fuel pump systems

Took these a few weeks ago. Luckily the white is easy to keep clean, and the 32 year old decals are staying put without any signs of peeling or anything

I never get tired of seeing that truck of yours...

Looks like the rear suspension has settled in a bit.

Thanks!

Yeah the 4" Skyjacker leaves have settled a bit, but the rear actually sits a bit higher now that I have an 8.8 in the back, due to the larger axle tube diameter.

I did the exhaust a few years back but I was dumb and used regular steel exhaust tubing, not aluminized or anything. It completely rusted out in about 3 years

I don't remember what you have to get the exhaust to there?

You mean the side exit? The frame has a kick up right in front of the leaf spring hanger which is a great spot to get the pipe out to the side

Ah. I have the factory manifolds and Y pipe. The Y pipe has an odd 3 bolt flange for the factory cat; I made a matching flange using some 1/4" plate that I welded the flex coupling to

That's exactly how I ran the exhaust on my stepside truck. I used the factory flange and welded some pieces of exhaust tubing up to build an adapter for 2.25" tube. Works super good and that spot in the frame is just perfect for hanging the last bit of pipe on. Mine is not nearly as pretty or legal as yours is so I won't post any pics. 🤡
