UHaul Hitch Exhaust Routing

[harrij4]

So, I finally got my UHaul hitch in for my '72 4WD K5, and it interferes with my exhaust to the point that I can't install it. As I look at the rear end of the truck, I can't for the life of me identify an exhaust routing that WOULD work. Does anyone here have the UHaul hitch who can send me a picture of their exhaust routing?

Tail pipes can be routed over the axle and out each side just behind the rear wheels can't they?

They would have to go around the outside of the rear leaf spring / shackle. I've never seen exhaust that turned outward before the rear shackle.

Attachment 1817231This is how the tail pipes can go. (this was a custom bent dual exhaust on my 65 Fairlane hipo).

Ahhh, so it's not too weird for the pipes to go over the springs. Cool! Thanks for the pictures.

As I recall mine are run similar. I will try to get some pics later.

That'd be much appreciated.

My apologies for the delay; I forgot that Mama had invited people up to swim and BBQ yesterday......

Tough angle to shoot, and phone pics probably not the best, but here's what I got. Happy to get other or more specific if you like; just let me know!

Edit: Still don't know why some pics post the wrong direction or how to fix it......

^^ So it looks like the suspension runs underneath the rear shackle hanger?

More pics (tight up in there!). Hope they help.
