Where did you find that y-pipe with no cats? Can you post a pic of the truck sittin on the stock wheels after they were painted black? I was thinking of buying some new black rims but I might as well just paint the stockers!

The y-pipe comes with a cat but it's not attached so I'm not going to use it.
And i'll have to get the tires on and roll the truck out for a picture, should get to that today or tomorrow.

I'll be sure to let y'all know, as for the hitch I'm not sure. I'll clean it off tomorrow and see if I can find out. Got it off a 95-96 F150 in a salvage yard, glad the frames are nearly the same.

I've looked all over it but no sorry I can't find anything. The sticker has long worn off and there's nothing stamped on it so I don't know.

How did you paint the rims? Did you just scuff them up with sandpaper and spray paint or did you have someone do them?

The reason I ask is because I did the rims myself on my 05 gto and when I changed tires, the paint around the lip chipped off. Yours looks good though!

Thanks! Well after i got all the rust off of them yeah, sanded them, cleaned them with acetone and then sprayed them black. Up to you to use primer or not, i didn't to make repairing nicks and scratches easier.
