Re: Pops 72 cheyenne dropmember build
You can also I see I added the final trim to the tail gate and the air cleaner will be painted. The air cleaner is from a 427 corvette motor. Mario is letting me use it. It is a rare piece so I have to give it back if I sell the truck.

Re: Pops 72 cheyenne dropmember build
WOW just went threw this build and nice truck for sure man. I have a question. On your bed floor how did you attach it to the original floor. I was thinking of doing the same thing on my 79. Never really seen a floor get put together, raising it sounds a little hard to get it to sit level again. and like you im not a fan of raised floors either.

Re: Pops 72 cheyenne dropmember build
How about round tips, with 1/2 the diameter below the bumper and 1/2 cut into the bumper, centered between the bumper bolts on both sides? Kinda like the new Dodge Ram pickups. That would look nice! Just tossing that out there.

Re: Pops 72 cheyenne dropmember build
Could not agree with you guys more. I hate them. I had a buddy of mine pick the truck up from the exhaust shop so I did not really no what they looked like. When I got home I was like that looks like crap. My dad likes them but I told him tough there coming off.

Re: Pops 72 cheyenne dropmember build
I was going to leave them under the truck but that would just cover the wheels and the frame in crud. So I an not sure what I am going to do.

Re: Pops 72 cheyenne dropmember build
I like this option too. Turndowns at the corners, similar to lotsa muscle cars.

Re: Pops 72 cheyenne dropmember build
I kinda liked the Z28 tips out the back myself... Maybe a rolled edge oval tip coming out the back instead? I like exhaust tips myself... I have a set of 4" straight rolled edge tips peeking out under the rear quarter panel on my '05 GMC similar to Hart Rod's truck above.

Re: Pops 72 cheyenne dropmember build
I like that better than mine. I called the exhaust shop and they stated they would change them so I will get it back down there once the truck is driving

Re: Pops 72 cheyenne dropmember build
oh ok so say you had to take the bed off how would you do that. I had an idea of running a nut and weld it to the top side welded inside of the box tubing and running the bolt from the bottom up. get what im saying sometimes my ideas only seem clear to me ahaha.

Re: Pops 72 cheyenne dropmember build
Other than the tips the exhaust looks great I agree either exit it out the corners or cut half circles into the bottom of the bumper and put rolled tips on coming straight back. I'm sure you'll figure something out better than what is on there. Keep up the great work.

Re: Pops 72 cheyenne dropmember build
My GMC is close to Hart Rod's, only with straight edge tips that are just a tad bigger. To me it makes the exhaust 'hit' a little more with the pipes pointed down, but without the droning that turndowns under the bed give off.

My floor is in perm. You can not remove it. If you want it removeable your idea sounds like it will work.
