Thanks hartrod, I promise you one day I'll be far enough along to get into the bed where I will definitely call on you for the rear tubs and your bed knowledge.

Re: Daves new 68 chevy swb
Guys it runs! I'm missing a radiator hose then I'll have a video for you. All I'm lacking is a driveshaft, uninterrupted steering joints, and power steering lines oh and a few brake lines and she will drive. It may not have fenders, hood, grill or a bed but she can drive.

Re: Daves new 68 chevy swb
Thanks guys for the compliments. Does anyone have any recommendations for mufflers? I plan to have a pretty short exhaust system, as in it exits pretty much behind the cab within the frame rails. ill attach a picture with the circled area. Basically i am looking for a good sounding exhaust that doesnt attract too much attention. I know thats asking a lot. I have never built a vehicle before let alone chosen an exhaust system. I do have 2.5" pipe routed off the manifolds and back a foot or so to start with. I am open to suggestions.
Also does anyone know who makes this bed alignment piece shown here in the pic? its one of the board members but i cant find the for sale thread i saw many moons ago. |

I used magnaflow mufflers on my truck with 2.5" exhaust HERE I'm very happy with their mellow sound, no droning in the cab and you can tell it's V-8 when you step on the pedal. How I routed my exhaust :HERE You can hear them: HERE |

Re: Daves new 68 chevy swb
Here are some random photos for everyone. i even put one in thee of myself and what I do for a living these days. Did y'all know a battery fits almost perfectly in between the cross sills? I am really trying to keep this build moving but damn its expensive. I need all the words of encouragement i can get from you guys. You guys will have to keep bugging me for pictures or i will forget to put them up here.
Well something is not working so i will upload the pictures tonight. |

Having had a short exhaust system that dumped under the cab and moving it to just in front of the rear axle, you should know that the shorter the exhaust, the louder it is and the more likely it will drone/resonate inside the cab. It was awful with my Flowmaster Original 40 series mufflers. They sounded great from outside of the truck, but anything more than 15 minutes in the cab made my ears ring. After stretching it to put the mufflers under the bed mad a huge difference in the drone in the cab. They're still aggressive sounding, but not as obnoxious inside. With that said, a milder muffler on a short system might not bee too bad. I haven't heard a short system that sounded mellow, but everyone I've seen and actually heard had an aggressive muffler on it. Your truck is looking killer!
