I love the iron dukes, great engines, ultra reliable. I would put them in more projects but I built a 2.2 powered 65 fullsize and when I sold it everyone shrugged. 4.3 is a great motor in these trucks though.
been busy in the house, and other stuff, but I DID get the exhaust done. not bad for under $200 including mufflers. I wish I could have made it all myself with mandrel bends like Hussey does but this is enough. I may have the exhaust shop take it out the back depending on how it sounds.

I couldnt find rod hangers anywhere, and I didnt want to use rubber or strap hangers, so I went to The Yard and got 11 feet of 3/8 rod for 90 cents. haha I love that place. it was an end cut off a 20 ft stick and had a little rust, but the 20ft stick was 10 bucks!
