Thanks for the pic.
My good friend had a 66 LWB, small block 400, 3.42 gear, muncie m20, front disc brakes, ran better than any pickup I'd ever ridden in, and most cars!!!
He was contemplating exhaust system changes.
My thought was to get the pipes off the headers routed outside the frame, then run a straight pipe straight to the back (w/ muffler included).
I added up the thicknesses of the rear coil springs to determine how low the pipe could be hung (IF, the rear springs ever did fully compress).
He built the system, had to cut a little off of the cab sheet metal that hangs in the way down there, no biggie...mind you this was 25 years ago when muffler selection was minimal. At first he ran a single 2-1/2" sonic turbo on each side...they were too loud, so he put an additional same sonic turbo on each side....an awesome sound, not too loud...
He had a crossover pipe a few inches behind the header collectors...
I've never seen a similar system...
