no it was the blue 1 that was just linked for me,

and yeah theres actually like 3 or 4 150s around where i live with em (i think its a group of friends) since all the trucks are real similar and seen together somethimes.

they just take the place of the exuast tho dont they?

i have seen em on other trucks like chevys and i think it was an older dodge that had 1 but cant remember for sure

they do appear more popular on the 250s tho

I had the chroms stacks on my 69 F100. To me, they look kinda goofy on Rangers unless they are pooring diesel smoke. I dont know, it just seems that the Ranger is a little small for stacks.

i dunno if it would look goofy was kinda hopein to get pics to decide =P

you think there would be a way to maby custom fab some smaller tubes instead of the thick stacks the 250s use? it couldent be that hard and would probly look better to

I love stacks just my thing is once you put them in you kinda ruin the use of the bed. I personally would not want to haul a load of mulch in the truck when you have stacks in there. But, if you are not worried or do haul stuff then go for it.

I got all excited when I saw the thread title, but my truck was already linked. I love my stacks, but they aren't for everybody.

EDIT: if you do put stacks on your truck prepare to be hated on.
