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".

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
 

looks great, were the pipes custom bent or did you buy the kit someplace ??

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

They were custom bent by a local shop

Thank you, I was wondering if the Heartbeat kit was any good .....

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:lol: Poor C20. That truck has paid dividends, I rob from it all the time and near always has what I need. Match made in heaven maybe, I should have known it was special when DMV issued the license plate that reads 400 like the engine badges:smoke: Stole the A/C blower tube from it the other day, it's like brand new.

Other than that, I give, how do Power Beams last so long?

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.

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

Washed up nice for coffee & cars :-)

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

Thanks!

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

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! :cool:

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

That's a big step, well done & it looks great, where did the gas tank hole go :)

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

Thank You and good eye

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.

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 :(

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

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