org. 4x4 exhaust

[61K10]

did the V8 single exhaust have a tail pipe out the back? 6cyl? the restored 60 4x that sold at Barrett Jackson, on the pic's i saw of the build the exhaust didn't have a tail pipe. I am building a single for my 61, just wondering.

[MitchFloyd]

The few factory V8's that I've seen have a single pipe that exits just behind the passenger tire. And that was on 2wd's, but I believe it's the same for 4x4 too.

Mitch---this is the tk i was talking about. maybe 60-66 might know as he has a couple of tks. that are stock.

[MitchFloyd]

Yeah, mine had the exact same. and I'm putting it back just like that too (235 6cyl). But I thought the 283's went ahead with the full extended tail pipe. Maybe that's just for the 2wd trucks. 60-66 would know.

That red truck looks like it has a straight 6 in it...the exhaust dumps right under the cab....I think the V8's exhaust went to the rear fender just after the tire. 60-66 would know for sure.

TJ--this is suppose to be an org restored tk? it is an org 283 tk. this tk was a frame off restore and sold for i think $57k. I would think it would be correct.

I do have a fairly new t/pipe here . do you want a picture of it. it is not installed

Yep, exhaust for 1960 - 1962 4x4's factory are exactly as pictured.

[61K10]

Hi Ron--if its not to much trouble. I am doing a short pipe like is on the red 60 for now. I hate breaking in a new engine with no exhaust. was wondering about the org set-up. I should of remembered you would have some info.

Was wondering the same .. My 1963 K10 has the exhaust coming out at the back of the bed behind the L/R tire .. 230 6cyl ... Tail pipe hangers look O.E.

Sorry...didn't know it had a 283..lol. I'm not much info on exhaust..I was going by what I saw and have seen...but I think someone answered your question.

The red trucks exhaust is close. Has a little to much bend in it. My 1960 C30 uses the exact same part number as a 1960-1961 4x4. for that tailpipe and its the original exhaust yet. Part number 3692828 tail pipe is 7 3/8 long . Muffler is 38 5/8 and engine to muffler is 40 1/8 .

[60-66]

But, they list that one for a "Cab" meaning Cab and Chassis. The other tailpipe listed is 92 inches long 2393659 .

looking at that catalog page where there are no part nbrs behind do those space belong to the part # above or the part # below
I note that in any of the applications is there any reference to wheel base except for the first 2 listings there is a difference of about 15" which may allow for differences between long and short w/base.
just curious

When they do that they are listing all the different applications for one tailpipe/or part number. Meaning that short pipe fits all 10-60 series. Note that after every line there's a comma .This book I pictured above is a 1960 printing. In the later parts books that same short pipe is listed as 1960-1966 4x4 Cab with a new PT# 3799040 .Then it says 1960-1963 4wd except Cab 2393659 92 inches, again no reference to wheelbase. Then a different part number for late 1963-1966 . For the later years they don't list length of pipe or wheelbase.

I went and looked at several more trucks. 1960 V8 Suburban 4x4 has a full tailpipe that contours the frame. 1961 4x4 panel has the short turn down. 1963 4x4 pickup short turn down. I cant confirm any of these to be factory exhaust though, but the first two have around 30,000 miles on them.

here is the t/pipe



I am going to use these at all so if any one is interested

Thanks for the pic Ron. so the berbs probably had a tail pipe out the back (rear passengers) short beds turn downs maybe 60-63? long beds tail out the back?

my problem is the stock y-pipe is in the way of my winch to pto driveshaft, so it's build my own. will be similar to the red 60. I guess it will be kinda stock from the y-back.

thanks for all the info

here is what walker shows
http://mastercatalog.walkerexhaust.c....asp?img=12221
it also shows the v8 tailpipe as the same
ron

[padresag]

the one that I have shown would be the 51" that is described in 60-66 catalogue page

here is what i came up with.

[maxwoof]

My 62 k20 has the exhaust that goes all the way and exits behind the drivers side rear wheel. It has a 235 in it. There are pictures of the exhaust system in the factory assembly manual. It shows both styles - short behind the cab and long. I believe the v8 had a crossover pipe for a driver side single exhaust.

[654x4]

For what it's worth the pic 61K10 posted is identical to the setup on my 65 K20 long stepper with 283. I believe my truck has completely stock piping with the exception of the muffler.

[61K10]

654x4--thanks for the info. lets see your tk.

Not a very good picture but it does show the short turndown off the back of the muffler in 63.
