Let us know how they fit/work for you.

I'm trying to finish up my exhaust "renovation" that ended up in the removal and replacement of the transmission crossmember and the trailing arm crossmember. Both will be replaced with ECE units. Sooooo, out with the old and in with the new....:metal:.

I tried the link on post #492 but it did not work.

BTW, check out my new build thread here. I used your project list (with a nod to you) and am also adding the post numbers as an index.
Love the thread. Pete

Found a quick way to remove the trailing arm crossmember, :sexy:. I also, flipped the trailing arm crossmember mounting brackets upside down to help improve the pinion angle. I have to buy a long drill bit tomorrow in order to finish the install. My header should be in tomorrow also, :metal:.

Finally got the ECE trailing crossmember in. It wasn't as bad as I thought it would be and I really like the clearance it provides. The exhaust should tuck up really well...

Great job! I have been building my truck back 80% stock, but reading your thread makes it very hard to stay with my plan. Question, are your rear inner fender wheelwells widened? If so, how much? And did you have to remove the rubber axle bumper mount from the side of the frame?

Thanks there'a bout 5 inches wider. You don't have to remove it, but I did since I installed a C-notch.

Finally something to update! I can't believe this "2 week project" has taken almost 3 months, :(. Oh well. I have the new headers installed and they tuck up real well. I just need to find time to take the truck to my muffler guy so he can do a complete new exhaust system that will include 3 chamber Flowmasters, H-pipe, new tips and electric cutouts.
