1966 Chevy k10 Suburban w/292 - exhaust review

I recently replaced the rusted, failing, incomplete exhaust that was on the vehicle when purchased with a single exhaust, pre-bent, slip-fit system I found on eBay. The system is designed for 65-66 K10 Longbed trucks with 292, closely mimics the original style. Turns out this application works quite well for Suburbans too. Being for a longbed truck provides plenty of pre-bent tubing, so sharing this info for the 65-66 K10 292 Suburban owners out there.

I was able to keep the exhaust tucked up high and out of the way of things (maintain ground clearance). The entire system (including muffler) is about an inch above the lowest point on the transfer case. I was able to run it all the way over rear axle to the back bumper. The vendor even provided a few extra scraps as well as a turn down tip.

System used:
65-66 Chevy K10 with 292 6cyl, 127in WB (longbed trucks) single exhaust system

Parts used:
Stainless saddle, butt and lap joint clamps
Grade 8 and/or stainless hardware
Universal clamp-on steel/rubber exhaust hangers (long style, modified as needed)
Universal steel hanger brackets (long style, modified as needed)
Permatex muffler sealer (just a little) for extra sealing on slip joints
New original style manifold gasket and bracket

Great job on adapting the exhaust. Turned out very nice.
Can we see some pics of the suburban? Don’t see many 4x4’s of that vintage.

Thanks Willowrun and agreed, don't see many of the 60-66 4x4's. This one is a work in progress, currently have a good portion of the front of the engine disassembled (Harmonic balancer, water pump, oil pan/timing cover) as I replace gaskets etc. New original style steel wheels are coming soon.

Great work all over on that beauty. I hate to bother you, but we need more than one picture of your Suburban as an entry on TOTM. It's inline 6 month!

Thanks 57taskforce

Appreciate that Special-K, hope you don't mind but I'd prefer to wait until the current work is done and the new wheels/tires are mounted etc. At that point I will do a better job of posting up more photos and providing a bit of back story on this truck.

Ok but this could be your month to win by showing off that 292 in such a special package. Looks good enough to wind, too!
