'67-72 exhaust kit
Hi Everyone,
I was wondering, is there a exhaust kit made for the '67-72 trucks? ![]() And can it be made to fit a '62 swb C10? ![]() I can't find one for the '60-62's or '64-66's, but could modify a '67-72 kit cause the frames should be the same (except with torsion setup). Since i have the torsion bar setup(front suspension), I have to use a "X" pipe in between the 2 adjustment bolts to run the duel exhaust under the frame. I even made a 1:24 scale model of the exhaust pipe on the model truck i'm building to use as an idea of what it should look like when it is finished. ![]() ![]() ![]() TIA, David

I installed the kit from JC whitney, it's a 2.25" dual kit. This is on my 71. Here:http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php3?t=97507
You'll have to scroll down there are a couple pics of the exhaust.

That's exactly what i'm looking for.
![]() ![]() '63-72 frames are the same (far as I know), but the '60-62's had a big "X" in the middle of the frame nick named the "wishbone" with torsion bar front suspension. With the "X" under there it's sure a PIA to work on the trans, or trying to slide the drive shaft into the back of the trans. ![]() ![]() Thank you guys so much for helping me. ![]() ![]() David

Here is an LMC kit in my 68 LWB (sorry for the sideways view). Fit nicely, and the turbo mufflers actually sound really good! I added the "H" pipe kit from Jegs.

Since I am cutting the frame down to a short wheelbase, I will be cutting the system before and after the axle to make it fit the new frame length.
