My whole system on my diesel is aluminized. It looks great.

Here is what I need.
Your point being? I had aluminized on the truck before. This is really a matter of want more then anything. It's not really a matter of looks or rust prevention.
Although short of an engine swap of some sort, which is 99% unlikely, this will be the last exhaust system I ever build for this truck.
And I say 99% because there's always a chance it could land a big block someday.
Got ya, didn't know what your thoughts were. Yeah, I'd go stainless if that's what you are wanting.

I don't really have much of a purpose for this truck anymore. The best I can do, is say it's my camping truck. Who knows if that will really ever happen. My wife hates it, (to tall) and it's a reg cab shortbox stepside, so it has no room for gear. And a roof top tent is going to be a TOTAL bitch with two 65lbs dogs. (Putting dogs in - to tall)And I doubt my wife would allow them not to sleep with us.
( I probably wouldn't like that either- they are great low energy heaters
)so as much I say it's going to be this or that, nothing really makes sense.
With that said. I'll never sell it. Might as well build what I want. Because it has no real purpose any more. It's going to continue to be what it always was.
A toy.

I hear ya.
AWESOME!!!!!!
I hear that. Mine is really the same situation. I have a newer, better, more capable truck to do anything truck related with. The short bed stepside doesn't have enough room to haul anything of significance, it doesn't tow well, it doesn't get good mileage, it doesn't ride or handle well, but I'll be damned if it doesn't put a smile on my face every time I turn the key and row the gears.I don't really have much of a purpose for this truck anymore.
