Thru-the-Body Exhaust - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

NitroMike · 07-31-2006, 06:13 PM

I've seen a few trucks where the exhaust has been run through a chrome port/opening in the bed side just forward of the rear wheel openings. Anybody know of a vendor for these?

Thanks

TugOwar · 07-31-2006, 07:12 PM

hmm, never seen that. Or never noticed it if I did see it. Sounds interesting though.

Are you sure that you are not talking about the half moon foot steps that were a dealer option? WES www.ClassicHeartbeat.com

I've seen pics of our trucks with holes cut in the lower bedside (forward or the back wheels) for chrome exhaust tips, on lowered trucks. Maybe for better ground clearance. Never saw chrome "port holes" though.

WRMZ71 · 07-31-2006, 08:07 PM

I swear to god they did this on Trucks one time. I've seen it done and I want to do the same thing but I can't find any info on it anywhere. You don't just cut a hole and put a tip throug it. It's a chromed piece that is pretty much flush with the side of the bed and attached to it. Its some type of material that doesn't discolor with the heat. Nitro if you find it you gotta hit me up brother!!

There is a 71/72 blazer running around town that has that set-up, so you're not crazy on that account. if I get a chance, i'll see if i can find out where he got them.

BowTieOgre · 07-31-2006, 08:20 PM

I think I may have seen them do that on Trucks! when Stacey David was hosting.

67ChevyRedneck · 07-31-2006, 08:22 PM

I've seen them as well, I think there was even a couple trucks posted on here that have them. Not my cup of tea, buy they are out there.

Like this one? I think it looks cool as well.

He is a member on this site. His handle is, "Barepaint". Maybe he'll chime in or you could send him a PM? Let us all know if you find out.

That looks like a step...

I saw the one with Stacey. He cut a piece of sheet metal and had it chromed to fit. You could also go with powder coating.

The exhaust isn't really that hot back there, so the chrome should last a while.

You might be able to use boat exhaust tips for through hull exhaust.

Here is the first place I found them.

I know there are all different styles available.

Yea, they did it on trucks to the red dodge truck. I cant remember the brand it was though.

NitroMike · 07-31-2006, 09:10 PM

To get the exhaust pipes through his cool roll pan, Richard Twiddy used the exhaust bezels from an early Mustang. It gives it a nice finished look. These are available for about $15 each from CJ Pony Parts Inc., 7481 Allentown Blvd., Harrisburg, PA 17112. 1-800-888-6473
