Can anyone with a 223 6 cylinder share a picture of their exhaust routing?

I ended up getting a pre-bent kit from LMC. I believe it should go:

• piece 1 - down from manifold, under oil pan
• piece 2 - under oil pan, and over front suspension
• piece 3 - muffler under passenger cab
• piece 4 - straight back toward rear
• piece 5 - over rear axle

But for the life of me, I couldn't find a clear way over the rear end.
I finally hooked up the straight piece to the muffler and ended it right there, just ahead of the rear wheel.

Maybe sufficient, but maybe someone can show me what I'm missing?

 

So, you seem to be almost there. Let's start up front: From the manifold, the exhaust drops down and runs on the passenger side of the block - and doesn't cross under the pan. The pipes hug the inside of the passenger frame rail from front to back. You have the muffler correctly placed under the cab. The pipes cross above the differential before terminating behind the rear wheel.

Here are a few shots of the Panel truck. This exhaust is rusted through many places and hangin on by a thread, but it's there!


It is too bright outside to get good photos, these are absolutely terrible. Either wait for someone else to reply, or I'll get better ones this evening or tomorrow. Got a BBQ to go to I think.

 

Thanks mOROTBREATH and FortyNiner!
I'll head out tomorrow night and give it another go.

 

Here is a couple of views from the top down on my 54.

 

Thanks!

I think the bends on the kit piece are imperfect, but following these images, I was able to get the final piece in and placed appropriately over the rear diff.

 

I have same kit and I ended up extending the 2' pipe (piece 4) an additional 10" to make the bends line up where it goes over the axle.


I can add pics later if needed.

 

Thanks all!

With the help of these pictures, I was able to get something setup that I'm satisfied with. The exhaust now terminates behind the rear axle under the bed.

Thanks again.

Purchased mine from MAC's. Fit front to back was poor. I had to make several alterations by cutting and welding with additional pieces. Still not happy with routing under the motor. Will rework again at some point.

 

Mine came from Chuck's Trucks and it fitted up great.
