exhaust kit

has anyone used an exhaust kit to replace the old one in your truck. I have the iron exhaust manifolds and am wondering if a kit exist to replace the muffler and exhaust myself. This is my toy truck and I am trying to do everything myself. The system needs to be replaced. I do not know what I am going to do whith the engine, so I would want the kit to be flexible for any future changes. Thanks.

When you get ready for the exhaust go to a muffler shop and have anything you want installed.

I took my '73 to the local muffler shop and they installed a custom bent 2 1/4 aluminized duals with glasspacks for $200. It turned out great and I didn't have to lift a finger.

My dad just bought a '78 f260 4-door, it has some differences from the regular cabs. the frame is wider in the rear than normal, and it has a 7ft bed. Where do we find information about these models? It also has a dana60 front and a dana70rear axles.
