What did you do to your truck today part IV

[Northwest Outlaw]

Started work on the new exhaust system. Stole some company time to model up the 1961 X-Frame and get an idea for routing the 2.5" pipe and placement options for the crossover pipe and Thrush Welded mufflers. Spent another 2 hours laying under the truck pulling pieces of the Speedway DIY Exhaust Kit in and out to get a real layout of angles and measurements. I should start making cuts and getting a full mock up this weekend.

Have fun with the rear track bar. That was what I always had problems with when running the exhaust over the rear axle on these trucks.

There seems to be enough room between the track bar and the axle, at least on the drivers side. With the truck lowered 3" in the rear I'm hoping there is clearance. Worst case would be exit to the sides before the rear wheels, but I would like to exhaust out the back.
Is it unheard of to run under the axle?

Ran some wire, a heavy duty flasher and now I have 4 way flashers on my 65 Suburban with a 72 tilt column.
Job went easier than I thought.
Also changed my ign. lock cylinder and added "sleepy eyes" on my headlights(half shields). Going out for knee surgery soon so have to get all my little things done. Next is my gas sending unit.

I took off my front bumper guards and then went looking for bumper bolts, couldn't find any here in town. I started digging through an old coffee can of bolts my Dad had (passed away about 22 years ago) and found 2 old bumper bolts. It brought tears to my eyes thinking he was still watching out for me.
