Yesterday after work, I started mocking up the rear sway bar. Went great until I tried to move it into position. The exhaust system that I am not too fond of drops right down over the axle where the sway bar mount needs to go.

Is there any reason to not reroute the exhaust to dump outside the truck in front of the tire? My dad is worried that if I move the pipe closer towards the cab that the exhaust fumes will get into the cab through the nonexistent cab corners.

Also, I noticed while I was under there that the trac bar has loosened itself over time. The bar is an adjustable one that I bought to replace the factory 63 that split in half. The factory trac bar was heated and bent to make a 65-70 rear end fit in the truck.
It is looking like I will have to end up removing rivets from the frame mount, moving it back a little, and getting the right angle when I bolt it in.

Any suggestions on these two issues?
