'67-72 exhaust kit

[Chevyboy1962]

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 have seen a few kits from specialty manufactures like LMC and pickups northwest. might give them a try. i am smoewhat in the same predicament. i need a new system for my 72 and am looking into late model systems. the frames can't be THAT different, can they?

I have the LMC kit on my truck. It fit pretty well and with the turbo mufflers its not loud in the cab

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.

that truck has leaf springs,yours has trailing arms.the exaust would be different to fit around the trailing arms.

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.

Glock35ipsc,
That exhaust looks pretty sweet. I'll have to check LMC.
Many thanks,
David

I don't know if that's the way they are supposed to be or not. There were no install instructions included. But, I tried to route them both ways, and this way fit the best. I put about 200 miles on this truck before I got into the accident, and I had no clearance problems. The trailing arms won't touch the pipe, even if jacked up by the frame so the rear end hangs down as far as possible.

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.
