Looking really good...sick!

Thanks guys!

Towed the truck to get a new full exhaust system installed. Going dual 3" from the manifolds back with magnaflows and a H pipe.

Should have it back today and will post more pictures.



When I laid the truck out over the pit, the frame sat about 2" below the ground!



Super tucked!

[mooseknuckles]

[Advanced Design]

Truck looks awesome!

[69short]

Awesome! It's coming together fast

[roOstersan]

Been away for a bit... Glad to stumble across this beaut! Absolutely love that frame! Bravo

[randomco]

Exhaust is complete. Full 3" from the manifolds back with magnaflows and H pipe. Tight fit! Turned out sweet.

[Blown06]

Man that looks great.

[tommys72]

Haven't checked on this in awhile, looks great though! Bad a$$

[mooseknuckles]

that is one sweet truck!

The exhaust looks great! I do have a couple questions. I can't really figure out how its mounted from the axle back. It looks like it's under the rear axle but also mounted to the frame near the rear bumper. Or am I seeing things? Can you explain how the exhaust is going to move when you air up the suspension, or put it on a lift (suspension droop)?

Thanks man. The pictures show the suspension at full lift, so the axle won't need to drop any further. If I do ever need to drop it out further, the whole exhaust system is flanged in sections and can be removed. You can see in the pics just before the axles the flanges. I could pull the rear sections off if needed.

Cool, thanks for making that clear. I really like how the tips come out under the back of the bedside.

No problem. Ya I wanted it to be clean and just peek out a bit. Plus didn't want to just dump it under the truck.

Anyone know if this is how the booster is supposed to mount?

[blake's first]

You can get rid of that bracket and make a flat one that will move the booster back to the firewall I made mine I can send you a pic of the template or there are ones that you can buy

Please send me the template! Glad there are options, this bracket is huge! Random.co@gmail.com

How much did you need to trim the threaded shaft that connects to the brake pedal?

[blake's first]

I didn't have to but I have a 5 speed and it moved the clutch pedal up to match the brake pedal so you may have to cut it down to where you like it. What brakes do you have if there big and you talk to wilwood you can get a master cylinder that you dont need power brakes for

[blake's first]

This one is on my blazer so it not very clean but it shows how much it can be moved back

[knomadd]

I have one of the hydratech units. It has a billet mount plate you can sort of see in the pic ajgriffin posted. Also, the hydro boost booster is mounted 180 degrees opposite of what you have yours at now.

I have pics of my install starting on page 4 in my build thread, and pics with my wilwood master/prop valve setup on page 21, if you're interested.

[randomco]

Theres not a problem with mine being mounted that far out right? The kit I bought is specifically for the 67-72 trucks.
