I say go with a set of fender well headers. I have a buddy that just did this on his 65, he has the Dropmember up front. I will try and post some pics here soon.

Hey, I saw you guys at the LA roadster show. I wanted to say hi and introduce myself but you guys looked busy.

Are you going to be up here in Sac next weekend?

Hey josh, does your truck sit on the frame or can you run the exhaust under neath where you have it now? I am talking about next to the transmission pan and the booster? Just an idea.

jlaird-

I really wish I knew why it doesn't seem to be working for you. When I spoke with Justin about this last he said we were waiting on some pictures from you. Either way, I'll gladly exchange it for an under dash unit, or if that doesn't suit you, feel free to return the whole assembly.

I do agree that you can run it under the booster and trans in that location though. You had said earlier that the portion of your frame there doesn't lay out and it should not have to hang too low at all.

Either way, give a call down if you would like to exchange or return that unit.

If the application doesn't work as intended, or "fit" in this case, any reputable company would take it back or offer a solution that will work. That sounds just like what has been offered by Scott's Hot Rods...:c2:

At full dump, the bottom of the frame is 1.75" off the ground. Are you talking about this picture? In this picture, the exhaust pipe is hitting the booster and it is still below the bottom of the frame rail by 1". In other words, with the pipe up against the booster and pan, it is .75" from the ground and like I said, below the frame (which I never wanted)

For some reason in that picture that Scotts posted, it looks like there is A LOT more room between the booster assembly and trans. But then again, that is a weld on unit on a modified frame, not exactly the same as what I have.

I'll give you a guys a call this coming week. I'm not putting blame on anybody here and from talking to justin in the past, I know he will do everything he can to help.

Thanks.

Whoops for some reason i missed that pic when you posted all those other pics. If you end up changing your mind about having the exhaust hang below the frame you can always wrap the exhaust with a heat shield wrap so you don't ruin any of you paint. Just an idea. I agree with Nate on that is pretty cool that scotts hod rods is willing to work with you. Another great company to do business with:metal:.

Did this ever get figured out? I am thinking about ordering one of these for a blazer build and want to know if the issues have been resolved. Thanks!

Thanks for the update...how is that working out and is there interference issues with factory or aftermarket A/C controls? Maybe jeff or scotts can chime in?

we have installed our under the dash pedal in a 68 chevy
pick-up running a hotrod air after market ac unit no
issues with the install.We also installed a speciality
wiper unit under the dash.The factory wiper motor
was in the way.

We have a customer that just called us and said he just
installed the under the dash unit he said he had no issues
with the factory ac.I asked him on the stock wiper he said
he shaved the cowl smooth no wipers.
Hopefully this helps you out on making your decision.

do you want the under the dash unit with a power brake
booster.Do you want the remote res to fill it up.Do
you plan on filling it up from the under side of the dash.
For the wiper motor kit do you want this with two speed
control?One more last thing if you call us on wed we can
give you discount on both items.If you are interested
in our ifs we can do a package deal for you if you like.
