Exhaust tip... why so close??

Yes, mine is a 97, flareside. I think regardless of the tip it's weird... I got a second opinion on the welding I saw way under there at the muffler and we don't think it is a factory job. Somebody messed with something, and whoever said something about clearance might have been right. My grandfather used to have to drive this truck down through some woods and muddy bumpy areas where he hunted.

I can see a weld up in there too that is not factory.

Ehhhh.... maybe it's not a weld. Maybe a piece of an old hanger? Something doesn't look right here though.....

Considering that, it seems like if you cut the pipe right before the bend and put a 12 or 18" long tip on, that should return it to the factory position. You can see where the weld is it looks like that it would point the exhaust straight towards where it is supposed to be.
