The exhaust does sound good. I didn't see any mufflers. Are you running any?

It seems I have seen an exhaust X like that before. What is it from?

Re: My 1962 C10 Build Thread "Grandpa's Truck "
 

Its an x pipe from a 2010 Cadillac ctsv, and there are 3 chamber flowmasters under there, sounds good for a stock engine !

Just what I thought you were doing after having seen your ads in the classifieds. What size LSx are you going with?

Re: My 1962 C10 Build Thread "Grandpa's Truck "
 

I got a deal on a 2006 5.3 with 38k miles so the choice was easy :bann:

Re: My 1962 C10 Build Thread "Grandpa's Truck "
 

Thanks ! I have been following your thread for a while too, seeing the progress on your truck and a few others here gives me some motivation to work on mine :)

Hello,
I have a original 1962 C10 Custom Cab Long bed also that is pretty much a 1 owner truck since 1962 other than me getting it recently, with a great story also. But I was very curious, you mentioned that your grandpa ordered his with a corvette 283. Mine is very original also and it has a 4 barrel and a cake dish snorkel type air cleaner similar like on the C30 C50 series that has the 327. Did your grandpas engine look like that also? Let me know. I think mine is all original like the way it came possibly.

Hi...new to this blog. Read your all your threads. AWESOME!!! What a great job you're doing. I have a 62 factory automatic deluxe custom cab BBW shortbed. She's a little rough around the edges but complete. I'm in the process of restoring her. You have inspired me to start working on her again. Reading your threads just gave me a lot more motivation. Thank you and keep up the great work!!
