Re: What did you do to your truck today?
Was at the muffler shop when they opened this morning. Had the headers hooked up to the existing exhaust pipes and flowmasters, cut the old tailpipes off and ran new ones since they hit the axle after I did the bags and lowered it and I didn't like the outlets anyway. The boys did a pretty good job for me.
That said, I've been running this pretty stout 355 through the old manifolds and man did the headers wake it up! The old girl will break the tires loose at will pretty much any speed now and sounds awesome! It's a lot throatier and the header ring just makes her sound great! ![]() ![]() |

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
I didn't like how one of the boards looked and fit so I got another one. I got it cut and stained so far and will have it cleared in a bit. It fits alot better and I can live with it. Hopefully my son will be able to come over so I can tighten the rest of the bolts down and get it on the road.

Hey Don -

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
nice truck T Smith, you are sure right on the difference from manifolds to headers, sounds so much better plus the HP diff.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
Cut the bottom off the driver's fender to start rust repair. Discover the last time someone "fixed" the rust they welded the bracing inside the fender to the cab. The original fender lower mount is long gone. Going to take some interesting work to fix. Then I manged to slice my palm open badly on the cut off fender and had to stop for the evening.
