Using a proven wheeling truck with another driving truck, plus more parts.
Looks like a calendar shot.
This one has rust, when I compare it to other stuff out here. It started out in Wisconsin. But Thanks!
@500$k5 is good at finding great pics!!!
But me thinks that he might have played with the one pic a little. I still like it though.
I’ll be sure to spot him sometime and fix that 
Some kids.....
Right? You’re kid did a better job naming the one you euthanized
How about Bruiser 9079-72.
Well I am needing to decide how close to put the exhaust to the oil pan. I looked for a metal heat shield , but I would be better off making one. I have heard that wrap can hold moisture and dirt and rot out a pipe, so I don't care for that idea.
Opinions? Any help?
I pulled the front springs back out to try and find out how much room there will be. The studs for the spring mount aren't trimmed yet, so they hit first. I was using the wood blocks to simulate the spring pack and the stock bump stop.

I bought sleeves for the middle plug wires, but I would like to crowd the limits with the exhaust. Not sure if some heat barrier will get it done, or if I should shoot for 1 to 2 inches of clearance. It would be sweet if I could drop below the pan just 3/4" . But I don't believe that will give enough cooling.
I think that you may be correct about needing more clearance, unless I can get some shield in there. But it will run ahead of the sump. It will be just enough forward to let the connector go on the knock sensor. It will get a sleeve too, cuz it's close.
I have an oil cooler, but there's pros and cons of one.

Everytime I think of a "big azz lifted fullsize chevy truck" I kind of laugh at the fact that exhaust is hard to route...
Everyone always thinks there is so much room in these big old trucks...
