Dave and I saw a big ass sportsman with what sounded glass pack, and a lot like nate's truck in the gravel pit by chickenbuck. I'd have to say it sounded pretty good for a Polaris.

Had glass packs like that on a '65 F100, running duals off a 390 and a three-speed on the column.

My 79 bronco wears a pair of 16" glass packs, that I'm certain all the glass is long gone out of. Exits in front of either rear tire with chrome downspouts so the sound echoes off the pavement when you put the coal to it. Yes the radio was nullified with that modification, and the "free flowing" exhaust didn't free up any extra mpg for an 18 year old at the time. Gosh I miss that rig, gonna have to sink a few bucks in it when I get back home and get it looking good again.

Looks like an awful lot of labor and stuff to invest in a F---.

My 79 bronco wears a pair of 16" glass packs, that I'm certain all the glass is long gone out of. My 79 bronco had a set of "no packs". The exhaust was long rusted off. It was a loud, obnoxious vehicle. It drove my buddies neighbor nuts. When I sold it and bought a 76 F150 with a 360 or 390 (never could figure it out) which was equally as loud. The neighbor guy came out and said "do you ever drive anything that's quiet?"

Did a lot of bed repair. Media blast, then I welded 21 different holes inside the bed area, a mix of drilled holes for things like an old drop ball goose neck plate, hole saw holes for electrical plugs, a 3"x7" hole for the old drop ball.. Solid bed but it was swiss cheese from things a previous owner had done. I also put these D rings in for the kid, he hauls dirt bikes and stuff, might as well have decent strap points in each corner. Doors are off too. We put an old set of wheels and tires on for the rest of the dirty work. Some light blasting, the priming, painting etc. One small hole below the dimmer switch that will need to be cut out and patched. [img] http://i43.photobucket.com/albums/e...s/IMG_20150321_200434889_zps4ixcbc1w.jpg[/img] It was a good day, didn't get pics of everything because we were too busy kicking ass.

Awesome to see you doing this with your boy/young man. I had to settle for loading some .32 H&R with mine, but time is time.
