Mike -

I hadn't thought about under the truck. I'm not sure I want to risk that; I'll have to measure how long the truck actually is. It's a Ford F-150 with an 8 foot bed and an extended cab. I may be able to fit everything under the truck without much sticking out that would be out of line-of-site of other drivers. I think it's 18' long, but it would be good to know for sure.

I've actually been thinking of bungy cording the pipe/steel to the passenger side of the truck. Under it may be better, as long as there's no chance of catching up in the drive shaft.

Al, thanks for the offer. I may take you up on it if I get a lot, but for my "initial order" from where I'm planning to get some steel and probably the new megatree pipe, it'd be a long way around. Sanford Steel & Pipe Corp. isn't that far away from me. A little more pricey than Dillon Supply, but not so much more so it's worth the extra gas for me to get to Dillon. If I remember right, they told me $4.20 for a 20' piece of 1/4" rod, with a $50 minimum order. I figure $50 worth would go quickly, with making up a couple of bang stars and trying to do the bells Charity wants.
