Finally bit the bullet and got it done.
Went with the long tube coated hedmans, flowmaster 40's.
I thought I was going to hate the sound at cruise, but it sounds good. As for the tips, I went with the ovals, and not spread too far.
When talking with the guy at the shop, I have known him for a little while, he restyores classic trucks and cars, he has had several of these trucks, and assured me I would be happy with the long tubes, I expressed concerns about ground clearance, he said not to worry. I have been driving it for 2 days everywhere around town, no problems yet. If I do start bottoming out, I guess we will go with a shorty or 3/4 length. The only thing I don't like is the long tubes are a little low, but I do have about 5" clearance, and they did not put my a/c -alt support brackets back on, which I did not even notice until taking these pics. Have to deal with that this week.
I know, I need to get some new plug wires...soon.

Re: Got exhaust installed
 

Looks good! Are those the Elite Headers or did u coat them?

Re: Got exhaust installed
 

I think those are the elite series. They came coated.

Re: Got exhaust installed
 

How much is your truck dropped?

Re: Got exhaust installed
 

i guess like 5/6 or close to it.
3" spindles 2" springs, and flip kit out back.

Re: Got exhaust installed
 

Looks good... I see you got a new bumper as well- nice upgrade!

Re: Got exhaust installed
 

totally forgot about that. You have a good eye.
I traded my step bumper with a board member. Got it put on, and moved it in about 1.5"

Re: Got exhaust installed
 

Looks really good! Thanks for the pictures. I am thinking about that same style rear bumper for my 78. I have stock manifolds on my truck, 2.5" aluminized pipe with 50 Series Flows and stock style rear tail pipes.

I just orders some Hedman Elites and Super 40s for my 72 C10. They have a 3/8" mounting flange. Looks like your headers have the thick flange too.

Re: Got exhaust installed
 

Sweet setup:metal: , like the way you did the tips closer together, do they make those headers with the AIR fittings???

Re: Got exhaust installed
 

can you get some measurements between the pass. side header, and starter?

Re: Got exhaust installed
 

Not sure if this fits your application but these Hedmans have the AIR set up. Very expensive too.:(

Re: Got exhaust installed
 

ya, when i get home from work...no problem

Re: Got exhaust installed
 

That exhaust looks SWEET !

BTW, Would that happen to be Rust Oleum Hammered paint on your control arms ?

Re: Got exhaust installed
 

Silver vein powder coat :)

Re: Got exhaust installed
 

I could not get under the truck to measure, so I did the best I could from above. There is minimum 2" clearance, actually closer to 2.5" no problems.
:)
Hope this helps.

Re: Got exhaust installed
 

how much did it cost u?

Re: Got exhaust installed
 

Are those collector flanges the ball-&-socket ones?

Re: Got exhaust installed
 

Pcmcobra that system looks great I agree w/ boatpuller that your a-arm will hit first.
Malo83 you can get the shorty edelbrock w/ a.i.r. from lmc, they hook to your stock exhaust if you want to do a piece at a time.

Re: Got exhaust installed
 

ya

Re: Got exhaust installed
 

that is so sexy...MMMMM! pure envy from south carolina lol

Re: Got exhaust installed
 

see now those headers would allow me to do my 3" single unmuffled smotke-stack-type with a flapper valve exhaust, but no, I had to have some car long-tubes that exit on the sides of the tranny so I can't run a Y-pipe or even an H-piped for my current duals...
