The tail pipes are stainless just so they'll stay looking nice. Drilled new holes for the tail pipe hangers to raise them up 1-1/2".

I'm really digging your attention to the details on your engine bay. The tower hose clamps are a nice touch!

Question for you, what material is your headers made out of? They look like Hedmanns headers if I'm not mistaken.

Thanks!

The headers are Hedman 62010 mid-length stainless. They fit without any issues.

Installed windshield - last one I installed was on this truck 35 years ago.... took a minute to remember the process, but got it done without too much difficulty!
Did the rear window a week ago as well

**Rich72C10** · 09-05-2021, 10:19 AM

Washed up nice for coffee & cars :-)

^^^^LOVE that green and white!

**rustytruck50** · 09-08-2021, 07:32 PM

Got a little time & a little financial boost & Picked up on a 2 year stalled project on Raymond....new trans crossmember for exhaust clearance, new kickdown cable and new brake lines...may get to drive it before the snow comes again!

Changed out my 20 yr old glass packs for a set of Thrush Turbo #17715 2.5". I can now think and hear my stereo or talk to the wife while driving. They do have a nice rumble to them while at idle, but are oh so quite at 2500 rpm. This will be the new chapter in the truck. And hey if I want it loud I just flip the switch on the cutouts and you will know Im coming down the street.

**Rich72C10** · 09-11-2021, 05:38 PM

Installed my 67-72 Chevy and GMC trucks Show Panels from Undercover Innovations. Oh, and to took the time to install the stopper on either side (I had them in stock since spring time).

They look great, other than I didn't need the A/C Panel, as my dryer is no longer in the stock location (I upgraded to R-134 and it is closer to the center). So that hole is for like nothing

Altitude adjustment done courtesy of new CPP lowering springs and KYB shocks.

**Steeveedee** · 09-11-2021, 10:27 PM

^ Agreed! Doesn't look lowered, so nice job!

**BigBird05** · 09-12-2021, 04:23 AM

I like the look. Which springs did you used?

09-13-2021, 08:20 PM

Carb bushings.. it worked out pretty well, I did the six flute 3/8 reamer turned backwards in the drill trick.. saw it on YouTube. Only $25 for reamer and bushings

**TxGary** · 09-13-2021, 08:58 PM

carried my 71 to the muffler shop, new exhaust all the way. Hope to here it run soon.

Thanks for the kind words fellas!

CPP 3” front w/KYB Excel-G 344068 shocks
and CPP 4” rear with KYB Excel-G 344055 shocks

You could also use your stock front coils and cut one full coil off.

Tonight I installed the cargo lamp and finished the wing window, side window and weather strip.

**Jiggers72-GMC** · 09-14-2021, 08:12 AM
