Just curious, why stock?  If it's a single exit exhaust you're looking for why not have a good local shop fab up a single 3" for ya using a flowmaster or magnaflow muffler?  I love my 3" with a Aero Turbine 3030 muffler.

So, why were you asking about a stock system?  Did these things ever come with a dual exaust stock?  I would either go to a competent local shop or look into the system Chris sells here.  I have no experience with Chris' system but it looks like a good deal.  It will probably require some minor tweaking here and there for a perfect fit, though.

Oh, that's news to me.  But then again I'm far from an expert on these trucks and my speciality is the '85 model  year   :D

I have factory duals on my 85, still original too.

If you mean dual AFTER the catalytic converter, sure, but not 2 separate pipes out the back.

True duals, no cats, factory on my 1985, can take pics if you like.  There is no mention of using unleaded fuel on my truck.  Probably because of the GVW rating and engine.

Looking at your sig it shows 1985 3/4T, if that is the case, yes it didn't have cats and could have duals.  I am talking about 1/2T which never were duals.
