You know Randy, It may just be cheaper to have a y pipe fabbed up,or have an exhaust shop make you some 45* off your exhaust manifolds and just run a dual exhaust,they are better for proformance and milage anyhow....

Randy, I think you got one heck of a start on a truck there. Just remember, you are in need of a good set of wheels, not a show truck. What I am currently driving everyday is lots worse than what you got there.

Dont give up on it, keep building!!!

i think its crap, only cuz of knowing it was slappe dtogether from parts i had around from others i took apart in past, but is the least rusty truck ive ever had so far, and is gonna get less rusty i hope,,
hmmi tried to have shops here make me pair of angled 45 pipes and they have no clue, they dont know these trucks before 73, they have no bookos or puter programs on them, it sucks really, id have to bring the damn truck up to them, but i cant, it has no exhaust,,, its like uhmmmmmm........

Thanks for coming over to here with some of the last things i needing to maybe get this thing moveable on its own, i appreciate it

If you bring into any exhaust shop bring the little plates that have exhaust bolt holes and a hole in middle for pipe,any shop can hook you up,i get 2.5" aluminized from manifolds back for $250,if you just have some turn downs made you could scab together something,or have them do the whole enchilada
