Re: How to: Ruin a perfectly good C10

...and some more today. Started making that pile of pipes into an exhaust. I began by putting the truck up on stands and burying the axle in the notch- I know if it clears like this, it should have no problem at ride height

First I routed the headpipes back to the trailing arm crossmember cutouts. These were just straight pieces, basically. It will get an h-pipe behind the trans, if I can make it fit. Then started the real fun. I used a 2-by to mimic a bed cross-sill and kept the mufflers between it and the trailing arms. in the vice you can see I marked the appropriate position on the truck and then bench welded the over-axle and over-arm tubes...
