UHaul Hitch Exhaust Routing
So, I finally got my UHaul hitch in for my '72 4WD K5, and it interferes with my exhaust to the point that I can't install it. As I look at the rear end of the truck, I can't for the life of me identify an exhaust routing that WOULD work. Does anyone here have the UHaul hitch who can send me a picture of their exhaust routing?

Re: UHaul Hitch Exhaust Routing
Tail pipes can be routed over the axle and out each side just behind the rear wheels can't they?

Re: UHaul Hitch Exhaust Routing
Attachment 1817231This is how the tail pipes can go. (this was a custom bent dual exhaust on my 65 Fairlane hipo).

Ahhh, so it's not too weird for the pipes to go over the springs. Cool! Thanks for the pictures. |

Re: UHaul Hitch Exhaust Routing
My apologies for the delay; I forgot that Mama had invited people up to swim and BBQ yesterday......
Tough angle to shoot, and phone pics probably not the best, but here's what I got. Happy to get other or more specific if you like; just let me know! Edit: Still don't know why some pics post the wrong direction or how to fix it......

Re: UHaul Hitch Exhaust Routing
^^ So it looks like the suspension runs underneath the rear shackle hanger?
