Re: 72 SWB STEP "Army truck" Budget Build

The LMC exhaust came in yesterday. Tonight I started trying to install the head pipes. Each section has a label with the respective location such as "left downpipe" or "right tail pipe". I started with the right head pipe (passenger side in my book) and there was no way it was going on. The bend angle was all wrong. I gave up and tried the left (driver) pipe. Same issue. I wondered to myself if they mislabelled them, so I tried swapping them. BINGO! Like a glove! Intermediates were mislabelled as well, but at least they were consistent! I will need to cut the intermediate pipes down since the kit is for a lwb or swb and i have a swb. I also plan to buy some of the tailpipe pookie sealer stuff before permanent assembly. Debating on whether or not to use the pipe clamps on the joints or mig weld or both.
