Great progress.

I think I may post some of my Crazy projects on the Tube.

You have inspired me .

Re: 1980 Chevy K20 Farm Truck

Well its been roughly 8 years since I wanted to full exhaust on my truck. Installed headers and some bolt on glass packs and it stayed that way since. Finally pulled the trigger and bought a dynamax pre bent kit. I had to adjust one angle but over all fit on quite nice.

This is a huge improvement. I still have yet to drive it on the highway but just in my garage it was SO MUCH QUIETER! Sounds great revving too. As I'm getting older, the super loud exhaust no longer appeals to me, I want nice and quiet in the cab but rowdy when I step on it. Other plus is I no longer reek of exhaust in the cab since the exhaust doesn't dump right beneath the cab anymore.







Video of me starting it up for the first time with everything installed:

I forgot to mention this in previous post but I also installed a new passenger side tank (with baffles) and got the dual tank set up operational again. 40 gallons of fuel will be nice!

Re: 1980 Chevy K20 Farm Truck

On a more disappointing note, I'm pretty sure my SM465 to NP205 adapter is cracked. I've been noticing a real slow drip in that area and upon inspection, I'm pretty sure it's cracked. More to come on this.

Might be spending the big bucks on the ORD adapter at some point.
