Re: 68 S/C update.....
I just ordered the last piece of the puzzle for my exhaust system. I was looking for some "big headers" that would tuck up in the frame and after a lot of research I ordered a set of ceramic coated, 1 3/4" primary, 3" ball collector headers from Dan at Clearer Image Automotive.
http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=314836 I also picked up an ECE tranny mount and a ECE trailing arm crossmember which will allow me to keep the exhaust up high all the way to the rear... The entire system will consist of this: Big headers 3" QTP electric cutouts, ![]() 2 1/2" aluminized exhaust H-pipe 3 Chamber Flowmasters Stainless steel tips This should help quiet normal driving down, but allow me to open it up when I want some real performance, ![]() R/

Re: 68 S/C update.....
Thanks!
Finally got the ECE trailing crossmember in. It wasn't as bad as I thought it would be and I really like the clearance it provides. The exhaust should tuck up really well...

Re: 68 S/C update.....
Great job! I have been building my truck back 80% stock, but reading your thread makes it very hard to stay with my plan. Question, are your rear inner fender wheelwells widened? If so, how much? And did you have to remove the rubber axle bumper mount from the side of the frame?
