Stack's for the Ramp - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Andy4639 · 02-21-2020, 08:06 PM

I found these on F/B market place. 60" stack's for $70.00! Drove 1 hr to get them. The guy had several old Ford trucks and a couple of caddies out in his side yard. We got to talking about vehicles and looking at the stack's he said man you drove 1hr for them I'll take $50.00 for them!
I looked at him and said sold.
I got home and had to see how they are gonna look once mounted. I think they will be just fine.

YES!! You have chosen... wisely.

**67 twins** · 02-22-2020, 02:23 AM

Oh yeah I like how that looks

KQQL IT · 02-22-2020, 03:09 AM

You could turn them out at least 45° or even 90°

**special-K** · 02-22-2020, 01:28 PM

Don't forget about them being up there

I can't wait till the video, the start-up and the drive-by

**kidatheart** · 02-22-2020, 02:20 PM

Personally, I wouldn't want it any other way!

Nice

can't wait to hear it myself.

Keep in mind Andy your going to have to put cans over them when it rains, aside from that they look killer on it.

Yea I have to figure out some kind of covers for them. I guess. Maybe make some cool covers with handles. They have some bend to them so they maybe OK.
Like these.

**biketopia** · 02-25-2020, 12:05 PM

You'll be fine with the slash cuts on them, no need for buckets or caps. Just don't let it sit for a year without running it after a noahs ark type rain.

67C10Step · 02-25-2020, 02:42 PM

That is a rig that is perfect for stacks. I say turn the outlet on the 45 and you will be golden.

Those leak.

**special-K** · 02-25-2020, 10:19 PM

Those flappers are for straight stacks. If you're not pumping some compression they go tink tink tink while it idles. Watch that video I posted

I guess I will just see how it goes. Maybe drill small weep holes in the bottom of the exhaust for the water to drain out maybe.

**'68OrangeSunshine** · 02-25-2020, 11:14 PM

Boss set-up, Hoss.

That's is a good idea if water becomes an issue and you wouldn't have a exhaust leak thru a weep hole.

**biketopia** · 02-26-2020, 11:02 AM

maaan, I want a ramp truck in the worst way haha.

I like this Tim. I may add a set even if I do the cover's.

Wootdog · 02-26-2020, 02:28 PM

Those stacks make me think of the one's my dad had on his truck back in the day. I love the truck. If I had one, I would probably bring too many more projects home.

I wouldn't do any fixed cap, the flapper is cool at first, but gets old quick plus they only work on straight cut. The pet cock isn't a horrible Idea, if you can weld a nut, use a bolt with some high temp silicone that would seal you up quick and always come out. Your slash's wont have an issue, all our John Deer and Cat machines have em, we don't cover them ever. If you are concerned I'd grab a few soft Nerf type balls to stuff in the ends if you're going to leave it parked for a long time.

Those flapper I would think wouldn't take long to get on my nerves going down the road. The balls may work also. Just keep several in the cab so if I forget and blow them out!

Dual stack Peterbilts have an 1/8" hole in the Y besides if the lowest point is below the exhaust ports it'll never fill anything important. And if it does you've bigger problems than your stacks.
