UHaul Hitch Exhaust Routing
 

So, I finally got my UHaul hitch in for my '72 4WD K5, and it interferes with my exhaust to the point that I can't install it. As I look at the rear end of the truck, I can't for the life of me identify an exhaust routing that WOULD work. Does anyone here have the UHaul hitch who can send me a picture of their exhaust routing?

Tail pipes can be routed over the axle and out each side just behind the rear wheels can't they?

Re: UHaul Hitch Exhaust Routing
 

They would have to go around the outside of the rear leaf spring / shackle. I've never seen exhaust that turned outward before the rear shackle.

Attachment 1817231This is how the tail pipes can go. (this was a custom bent dual exhaust on my 65 Fairlane hipo).

Ahhh, so it's not too weird for the pipes to go over the springs. Cool! Thanks for the pictures.

As I recall mine are run similar. I will try to get some pics later.

That'd be much appreciated.

My apologies for the delay; I forgot that Mama had invited people up to swim and BBQ yesterday......

Tough angle to shoot, and phone pics probably not the best, but here's what I got. Happy to get other or more specific if you like; just let me know!

Edit: Still don't know why some pics post the wrong direction or how to fix it......

^^ So it looks like the suspension runs underneath the rear shackle hanger?

More pics (tight up in there!). Hope they help.
