These trucks were a little loud from the factory, but as long as you run the Exhaust all the way to the back with a factory type or custom Tail Pipe, it shouldn't be too noisy for you.

If you don't like noise, you would not have liked my '62 6500 with the 478 V-6. It had factory Duals, factory Straight-Thru Mufflers and they ended underneath just a little passed the cab. Especially so with a full load going uphill, lol.

We would carry 20,000 routinely.
