I've been searching around both on this site and on the auto parts sites and haven't been able to find a place where I can find the entire exhaust system (pipes, muffler, and hangers). Is this something that I should just bring it to an exhaust place to have done? I'm trying to do as much of the work myself and don't want to spend a fortune, especially on the exhaust. I'm just looking for a nice stock exhaust for the truck.
Thanks for the help!

Larry, was the exhaust system from the Filling Station a generic set of pipes and muffler, or was it an actual kit for your truck? Main reason I ask is on their site they have it listed for years 1933-1974, which I can't imagine is the same for all those years. It is about $80 cheaper than Waldron though (at least before shipping), so I'm looking into the Filling Station first.

Around here the custom benders aren't expensive.

The system I got installed in my 63 C20 with only one problem. The pipe off the exhaust manifold had the the wrong bend. I called The Filling Station and they referred me to the shop in that made it in Florida. I sent the wrong one back and received the correct replacement in good time. In talking to the muffler shop I got the impression they had everything on a CNC bender.
The kit only includes pipe and muffler.
Niel, I sent you a PM

Unless your wanting pure stock looking stuff I'd take it to a muffler shop. No shipping and they have different sizes pipe as well. Plus, over the years, using the same guy/shop for past 25 years I find that their pipe last longer and looks better longer. Plus, they can bend it anyway you want it, put hangers anywhere you want them or fab it around anything/anyway you want. I think you can see my point. | | | | | Joined: May 2006 Posts: 8,351 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: May 2006 Posts: 8,351 | Something to keep in mind, the 3200 for '55 had a rather odd exhaust system from the factory. If you want it original, the tailpipe actually crosses over to the right side of the truck, over the rear axle. 3200 exhaust diagram
