Yeah, probably wouldn't make it far in this state either.
Though I have gotten away with straight pipe for 5 years now and not a single comment from law enforcement about it. Been pulled over for no mud flaps once by some noob cop that looked no older than 21. Damn I feel old now. I have like 9 years on this kid.
I didn't take him seriously... still no mud flaps haha. the other time I got pulled over was for no license plate lights...stupid bulb fell out of its socket and was hanging by it's wire.
Never pulled over for speeding, noise, or excess smoke in the big truck. In cars I have gotten pulled over all the time for speeding and such, never once in the Dodge. strange. Guess cops either like or just don't pay attention to full size trucks around here.

What I find really amusing is getting pulled over by some 'kid'... and him proceeding to lecture me about my driving. I just kinda look at him funny, and point out to him that I have been driving longer than He has been ALIVE, and to save his 'sage advice' for his kids. Write me a ticket, or let me go, spare me your lectures. Of course, I don't even remember the last time I was even pulled over, let alone, got a ticket..... think it's been six years or more.

Only been pulled over 3 times in 3 years of driving, one for no head light, one for having my seat belt under my arm and once by the ministry for having a glass pack exhaust.Anyways I just wanted to subscribe

I haven't gotten a ticket in over 6 years as well..
Last ticket I got was in my 02 Jetta TDI (RIP) and I got a lawyer and got the ticket dropped
on topic:
that truck looks like it'll be a fun build! be a very rare combo not many have done before!

Well not too much progress today, but every little bit counts I thought for a moment I could utilize the factory cab mounts but of corse its not that easy, so I removed the mounts from the frame and got some iron comig tomarow to fab some new ones, hopefully will have the cab in its final place and mounted in the next couple days
