I'm rebuilding a 1951 3/4 ton truck. The motor I'm using is a 1950 dated 235 (ser. #HEA xxxx) and it has the earlier 216 style exhaust manifold that dumps straight down. I went to Chev's of the 40's (a 2-1/2 hour drive from my house, but worth it to visit the auto museum and not pay any shipping) and bought their exhaust kit for a 3/4 ton truck. The kit came with a header pipe that was angled for the usual 235 exhaust manifold. I didn't notice that until I tried to fit it to my engine. Chock that one up to my fault. I had reason to be down that way last Friday so I arranged to swap my header pipe for the "correct" one. What they gave me turned out to be the header pipe for '41-'47 trucks with a 216. I gave it a try with the pictured results. The drop down is so long it sits on the tie rod (yes, the caster is correct). After searching their web site, it appears that don't sell a header pipe that is "correct" for my situation, so I'm looking at modifying the pipe I have to fit (shorten the drop and straighten out the first bend a little). My question is, what does a stock exhaust header pipe on a, let's say, 1948 truck with a 216 look like? I can't find good photos on line showing a stock exhaust system. Can anyone post some photos for me to work from? I'm curious what the pipe run from the manifold to the muffler is supposed to look like. Thanks for your help!
