I already have a driveshaft loop welded in, just in case. I check my truck once a week, just to be sure everything is in good shape. The only thing im having consistant problems with are the nuts and bolts on the header collector flanges. They keep loosening and the nuts fall off, then I have a hellacious exhaust leak...
Nylock nuts wont work either.. it just burns the nylon out and they fall off.
Anyone have any kind of suggestion (short of loktite)?
Oh yea, whats the "best" wax to use on these old trucks? Mine's overdue and hopefully I'll be putting her in a car show within the week!

As for the loosening header collector bolts, try double nutting them. Get a longer set of bolts and another set of nuts. Tighten everything down like you normally would, then run the other set of nuts up. Hold the first nut and tighten the second nut down against it. Should keep things from coming apart.
