in a word NO your best bet is going to be someplace like a midas muffler shop and let them build a system to fit your truck

I'm sure others know more, but Patricks carries a complete system or so I've heard. After installing fentons on my 62 Chevy, I took it to a local exhaust shop with a dual muffler I had already bought from Patricks. It took them less than 4 hours to complete the truck and charged me $300. I also checked with a performance shop who did custom mandrel bent stainless systems. They ballparked the cost at $900 - $1000. Let us know if you find anything else. Good luck!

Just got my dual exhaust system in from Patrick's. Polished stainless steel and complete with photo illustrated installation instructions and all hardware. Two in, two out single muffler and the exhaust pipes exit the rear in a "shotgun" fashion. Had early discussions with Patrick about the long bed and he wasn't sure what he was going to do about it. I figured that I can get a local shop to make up the short stainless extensions I'll need to get it over the axle and out the rear. Whatever, I don't have a show truck so the extensions won't matter. Had to wait almost a year from his conception through final delivery but Patrick's told me that the system was beautiful. Have to agree with them. Now to put it on.

49 geezer, So what Patrick is selling is for the short bed pickups. Could you send some pics of the system and how much it cost? I was thinking of doing the very thing you are going to do with my truck. Does Patrick supply a pipe(s) to go over the rear axle? The way I was thinking about it, I thought I would add the extensions between the muffler and the the down pipes coming off the the headers. I would really like to see pics of installation when you are done.

Ever think about having the exhaust tips portrude in front of the rear wheels? Like original, but on both sides. Simpler and cheaper probably.
