1982 C/K 6.0L Caitlyn Mall Crawler (Interior time)

[Babaganoosh]

It was nice to not work on anything. Been working on that avalanche every weekend for a month.


But I'm all about this now. I have a huge itch to get going on it.

 

[F.S.F.W]

You'll win. Unless it takes you more than 2 weekends...

I'm already over the two weekend limit.

Welcome to my life

Once I get cleaned up going to mount the big ass trans cooler then mount the drivers side inner fender. I also want to cut the exhaust in half and weld in a mid point where I can unbolt it. Hopefully by then I will have the trans.

You're preemptively chopping up a functional exhaust system just in case you want to unbolt it later? Why not just cut it up later, if that situation ever actually materializes?

Because everytime I have to drop it down, it's from the header to behind the rear tire, it's a little of a pain but it's manageable something that has bothered me sense before the 5 transmissions.

Are you already planning on doing this again?

 

[Babaganoosh]

No, just trying to make it easier and planning on my next exhaust setup.

Phwew... Lol I really hope this one holds up!

 

[Babaganoosh]

One of my few planned updates the exhaust won't work the way it is routed currently.

Doubler FTW!

Just wanted to to put the thought in your head... I was just looking at ball and socket flanges so that I could take the exhaust apart on my '90.

That is what I want

Where?

 

[Smokinthehippies]

I agree that it is a good idea. I hate having to fight huge exhaust hunks. Ball and socket or v bands work great. Don't do v bands tho because they are stupid money.

 

[Chevy305]

Every seam in the exhaust is potential leak point.

That's a precisely vague statement.

 

[Babaganoosh]

That's a precisely vague statement.

63 inch springs, blazer tank, full length sliders and exhaust cut into the bed sides before the tire.

So...copying Wade again?
