Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
Got a new full length exhaust system installed. I removed the old pipes and installed new mid-length headers. Drove to the muffler shop like that. Felt like a big jerk making all that noise early in the morning in my neighborhood. Replaced the old 40 series Flowmasters with 50 series Delta Flow, and now it is significantly more tame, which I find much more enjoyable to drive. Used the stock exhaust hanger locations. 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".

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
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 |

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
I learned to polish stainless today, I also learned how inadequate my compressor really is. With cotton and compounds everywhere that combined for the most miserable moments of my life in recent memory.
I get to do another ring soon, the factory could have assembled one of these better and I know just where to find one in my driveway ![]() ![]() Other than that, I give, how do Power Beams last so long?

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

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
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.

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
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 ![]()

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
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.
