Re: '72 chevrolet c20 custom camper build "Craig"
Very nice work on the glove box door. I have never seen one torn apart like that. I ended up taking three tries on mine to find one straight enough to use. You have come a long ways in one year.

Re: '72 chevrolet c20 custom camper build "Craig"
Thanks Average joe
i finished mounting the stacks, and made a brace half way up the bed, also mocked up the other pipes, i think its going to work out pretty sweet. the exhaust should be hidden nicely with the frame

Re: '72 chevrolet c20 custom camper build "Craig"
So with the stacks you're straying away from the tips you made a few pages ago? The stacks look pretty cool, too, though. Not a stack guy, myself, but they do have a cool look.
Good progress, too. You're kicking my butt with the build.

Re: '72 chevrolet c20 custom camper build "Craig"
You'll need to post a sound clip when ya fire it up.
![]() I cant tell if the exhaust pipe is mounted solid to the bed and the stacks, but keep in mind exhaust systems are rubber mounted for flexing, i would at least consider a 2' section of flex pipe in the system? I have never looked at a stack design to see how they addressed the issue.

Re: '72 chevrolet c20 custom camper build "Craig"
Just had a chance to look through your build Dean. Man, I thought I had rust issues, but nowhere near the amount of work you've done on yours. Great job getting to this point on your build, plus yours is running/driving! Thanks for your comments in my build, and I'll be following yours now.
