I am very interested in how you worked out that out of chassis exhaust system. Were they pre-manufactured headers or were they custom? Does the exhaust exit between the frame rails under the bed or do they exit under the running boards? Muffler? Any other modifications required? Stock steering box possible?

I am very impressed with your set up. I have lots of questions and my headers on my 302 are almost touching my stock steering box in my 51 F1. Thanks for your help. Steve
