Next project

I don't know if I posted, but my son had a small leak in the stock exhaust and went ahead and bought headers. Being 19, he didn't think it thru and we had to cut a very small amount of the frame to get the header to sit flush on the block. He works at a parts store, so he got a great deal on Flowmasters, so he bought them as well. What he forgot to check was the price to have an exhaust shop put all the pieces together. He was quoted anywhere between 600 to 900 dollars. I offered to pay for it, but he is determined to do it himself, so I let him go with it. He did some research on the web and found Summit has a exhaust setup made for the 67 to 72 Chevy C10 for about 250 bucks, including the mufflers. He is now the proud owner of that setup and asked if I would help him put it together, and of course I said I would. I am proud of him for wanting to tackle this and it will be fun to get it put up and give him the chance to say he did it. I know there are going to be some challenges, but what the heck, that is what old trucks are for. LOL.

Anyway, that is what we will be working on this weekend if it all goes well. I am looking forward to spending the time with him and getting this worked out so he can get back to driving it and enjoying it.

Thanks for reading my long post. I will hopefully update as we get into it
