A lot of the early diesels don't have cats, just mufflers (cali trucks did though). Do you have some reason other than the cat to think it might fail an emissions test?

I know the OBS trucks came with cats on them. The reason the SD 7.3s evaded cats was because of split shot injectors. Ask in the IDI forums someone there is bound to know.
