Not bad for $400.00!

[RedfishBluegrass]

Here are some pictures of the truck I acquired for $400.00, which I now have about $3000.00 and counting.

Truck - $400.00
Complete Engine Rebuild plus parts - $1130.00
Radiator, alternator, heater core, CV axle, misc junk yard parts - $370.00
Completely missing bolts from who rebuilt it last (no motor mount or trans mount bolts!) - $45.00
Wheels and Tires - $380.00
Camper shell - $300.00
Clutch, water pump, hoses, bearings, and all tune up supplies - $375.00

Hopefully this should be the end of the major parts but who knows! Its got 212k on the clock and is running good now! Keep your fingers crossed! On another note; if you can see the dual exhaust pipes, how can I get rid of the pipe on the right? It goes from the manifold to a new muffler (got rid of the glass pack) and then just splits with a Y to go to the back. Can I just cut one off and cap the end?

Very nice find. What style camper shell is that?

As for the exhaust, I would do one of two things. First off you could remove the Y-pipe and have it re-installed as a single exit exhaust or secong is cut the section of Y pipe before it forms the Y, then remove the one side and either have a pipe bent at the angles you need, or use flex pipe from your local parts store.

I would like to note that the flex pipe would be a temporary fix until you could get a pipe bent. I know some run flex pipe for longer but my .02 says it temporary.

It is a LEER cap, i believe the glass is not the original, but it works! Thanks for the info on the exhaust! I am tired of it sounding like a very slow, loud, motorcycle.
