72 SWB Fleetside Exhaust Question - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**Cam1968rsss** · 03-03-2020, 03:19 PM

Hi all, am installing a new dual exhaust system on my 72 SWB. The bed is currently no ton the frame and I was wondering if any you might have any idea about how far behind the rear tire the exhaust should come out from under the body? Kid of looking to keep near a stock or factory location. Thanks for your time.

That would be a hard way to determin the location. iT could vary by the tire size & location in the tire rack. It seems the best way would be to leave them a little longer then necessary & cut them off after the bed is on.

This is the best pic I could get right now, but I used a Pypes system. Md this the exit location they use. My truck is stock height.
