Terry new exhaust tip
#3
Very neat and tidy, you have to look twice to even see them. Nice work!
Not much room under the running boards is there?
If a fool (me) wanted to, do you think there is room under the frame where it starts to kick up to run the pipe into the lower front portion of the rear fender?..............

Thanks guys. Its something I've been wantin to do for a while. Then while I was at homade's house he had the tips and sold them to me cheap!! They just fit my runnin boards. But the hard part was reworkin my exhaust and gettin everything to fit without rattling and without melting the paint. I let her run tonight for about 30 minutes in the garage and after the truck got up to temp. The boards got to 90 degrees and the tips got to around 110 degrees. That's sittin still, so I figure goin down the road there wont be any problems.
As far as the way everything fits and such. Its a '72 model box so my fenders are about 4" higher than a typical '56. So I extended my running boards about 5" longer to run under the fenders. I also added another running board bracket so I have 3 instead of 2 on each side. Also, I do not have my boards mounted to the fenders either this allows the boards to "float" when goin over a speed bump or other obstacles. I think they came out great, not perfect, but not bad either.
Thanks Tom for puttin them on for me. I sent them to Effieford too, I hadnt heard back from ya. Then when I tried to stop her our internet went out cause of rain Sorry for the inconvience Tom.
Thanks again guys.
