Does anyone have a photo of their stock exhaust from the manifolds back - preferably from a 54 y-block, but I'd like to see any from 53 to 56. I removed all my stock parts when I was 15 (35 years ago) and just don't recall how it goes.

 

I'll be putting my 54 on a lift soon to change my tires. I'll take some pics for you.

 

Bumping as the time has come to install exhaust.

 

Can anyone help Brian and Bessie? I'm interested too.

 

Well, I replaced mine with what I thought was pretty much stock.
Here is a video of it.

And a couple of pictures.





Mine is an F250 and had an aftermarket flatbed on it. The exhaust dumped out under the bed between the back of the cab and rear wheels.
I know it's not quite what you are looking for, but maybe it will help until someone with something better comes along.

 

Thanks Harrier! That does look very familiar! I do recall that mine too exhausted from in front of the rear wheel - I think my tail pipe was slightly shorter. I removed the stock system and put side pipes on the truck - looked cool for a 15 year old kid back in 78'.
