1964 stepside c10 230 inline six
 

First off, hello to anyone that reads this, and thank you in advance. My adventure in truckworld started a month ago after rescuing and partly fixing this wonderful old truck. It is still burning off old varnish but is better than it was. It has a noisy manifold and or exhaust leak maybe more. I'm underaverage as a mechanic, and will not do this part. How much can I expect to pay for a new exhaust, (manifold, and or seals in the area where the pipes hook to the block)?:mm:
I think this is where the noise is from.

You can't buy repro stock intakes but you can buy repro exhaust manifolds from LMC, or Truck and Car shop. Napa sells the intake/exhaust manifold gasket...probably would be a good idea to purchase one..and also make sure your stud bolts for the manifolds are nice an snug.

If the exhaust manifold is leaking at the head, I would take it off, take it to a machine shop, and have it fly-cut so the face is flat.

In my opinion, a re-surfaced stock manifold is better quality than a replacement one.

If the manifold is cracked elsewhere, I'd consider having a good cast iron welder fix it.
