Looking for an inexpensive way to put exhaust on my truck. It had long tube headers which will not work now. Thought about going back to ram horns too. The question I have what would be a inexpensive header option? Will the Hugger headers work?

Thanks

I have decided to go with the Headman 69010 Headers. Think it will be a better long term purchase.

Thanks to 67c10rustbucket (Dan) for the suggestion.

With the weather cooling off got back in the garage some this weekend and today.

Cut out one set of lower brackets for the sleeve bags. Tacked it up an I think its going to work fine.

Rob

Fattback · 07-02-2013, 07:44 PM

Seems like I spend more time cleaning up the garage to work on the truck than I do working on the truck

Gathering up some more metal so with the long weekend might be able to get the old girl on 4 airbags

Pro Performance · 07-02-2013, 08:52 PM

Coming along well and look forward to the progress after the long weekend.

Bennett68C10 · 07-07-2013, 12:26 AM

Just found your build thread Rob, awesome job on the frame so far. Those notches really went around the block some

glad to see them put to good use. I'm subscribed for more updates.

Was able to get out and beat the Oklahoma heat and get some done on the rear end of the truck. Lower bag brackets welded up and tacked on rear end. Also lowering block fabbed, painted and installed with some temporary bolts.

Rob

One on the left has some sad welds. Got better as I went along lol.
