Re: Used Parts Build
That exhaust wouldn't work so good here in PA. They changed the law last year so our exhaust has to exit behind the rear wheels... even on a truck. It used to have to exit behind the passenger compartment. I have to extend the exhaust on both of my trucks.

Re: Used Parts Build
I doubt this is legal but there isn't any inspection for 75 and back.

Re: Used Parts Build
While looking at my old welds on this exhaust I wasn't really happy with them. I spent some time playing with a few scrap pieces using different cups, settings, and filler rod diameters. I think it was worth the time spent.
![]() ![]() Everything back purged of course ![]() I might go back and redo some of my uglier welds. ![]() Then I stripped down the inside of my tailgate so I can get some primer on it before it rusted. Its a bit to beat up for me to try to fix all the dents. I'll figure something out later. ![]()

Re: Used Parts Build
Do you have a source for this? I'm looking to get my exhaust redone soon and this is the first time I've heard of this rule. Did a quick google search and couldn't find anything.

Re: Used Parts Build
I no longer live in PA, but I heard that from someone else when I was home a few months ago (Pittsburgh area), BUT it may not be a statewide thing and just a local/county thing. Anything I find on-line is 2016 era and it is still legal as long as it is within the sound dB range. Check with a local inspection station, as they should have the latest

Re: Used Parts Build
Just my inspection guy.... who is pretty lenient. I know other people that have said the same that go to other inspection guys.

Re: Used Parts Build
Just a tip for everyone. You can get silicone plugs from amazon for a few bucks compared to hundreds for a proper back purge set up.
![]() Got my waste gate all welded in. ![]() Started filing a bunch of holes and sprayed a little bit of primer over the bare spots ![]()

Re: Used Parts Build
Thanks Joe.
I guess this whole stay at home thing has some perks. I wanted to stop all the dirt and leaves that get into the cowl so I cut some filler pieces. ![]() I didn't want to weld them in so I made them removable and used the mount holes from the original screen that it came with. ![]() Done ![]() Finally started on the massive whole I cut in my floors...This has been a bit of a mental block for me since there was so much to do. I dove in yesterday and made some progress. I am going to try to get a lot of it done during the shelter in place thing. Sadly (or luckily) I am an essential worker and have to work through this whole time :/ ![]()

Re: Used Parts Build
Shaping large pieces has been a bit too hard to manage. I am breaking it up and doing it in chunks. Not what I wanted to do but progress none the less.
![]() ![]() Next piece ![]() Started making the top piece to fit up against the fire wall. This one has been a pain to fit. Its a pain climbing in and out up under the dash. ![]()

Re: Used Parts Build
Little by little
![]() One more welded in ![]() The last piece on the passenger side is going to be rough. There are a lot of angles and not sure how I plan to tackle it yet. I have half of the driver's side done. Might do that for a bit while I think through the more complex piece.

Re: Used Parts Build
After way too much time and effort I got the driver side done.
![]() Time to finish the passenger side before I climb underneath and check to see if I missed anything. Then grind everything smooth (since why not?) before paint and on to the next thing on my never ending list.

Re: Used Parts Build
Got all the final welding done and most of the welds cleaned up then started scuffing and wiping it all down
![]() Then painted the inside. The lighting really messed with the pic though. ![]() Pulled the engine and started prepping the underside. ![]() Got some paint on there. Need another coat then Ill move on to cleaning up and painting the firewall. ![]()

Re: Used Parts Build
Thanks everyone. I have been chipping away at it with all my extra time since there is nothing going on around here.
Painted my firewall ![]() Brakes ![]() Started reassembling stuff ![]() Ran out of paint so I started running my brake lines. Here is a practice flare ![]() Hoping my brake lines don't look like crap when I am all done...

Re: Used Parts Build
No exciting photos but got a fair amount of work done. Ran my brake lines.
![]() Then tore the front end apart so I can grind off all the POR15 that I originally painted with and do it properly. ![]() Gotta do something with the ugly front of the frame I messed up on years ago. Still playing with some ideas.
