Re: exaust on a bagged 68 sb

How much did you drop the truck? I have my exhaust pipes run just inside the frame rails and they exit in front of the rear wheels. The pipes sit a bit lower than than the frames rails and my truck has a ~4/5 drop with no clearance problems.

Re: exaust on a bagged 68 sb

I built mine as I went with the idea of 3" duel all the way out back. My trany x member has raised areas for the pipes to pass and so does the trailing arm x member. From their it goes over the trailing arms and the x member above the axel is notched and reinforced so th eexhaust clears that as well then dumps over the diff and comes out in both rear corners. Sorry I don't have and competed pics to show yet. Also my front arms lay out and my rear license plate also lays on the ground. The bed floor is raised up 6" to help with all this. Here are a few pics I had that will give you an idea.
