The Stovebolt Site Forums The Shop Area Engine Shop simple exhaust accessory...hard to find

Looking to find online:

The collar that fits around the exhaust pipe. This
collar matches up with the corresponding collar on
the exhaust mainfold. two bolts pass thru the collar
and thread into the one on the manifold securing the
exhaust pipe.

I had an a budget exhaust place put an exhaust on this
55, 235 truck engine about 10 years ago. They didn't have the right part so the put a larger one on..I want to add an old generator/power steering unit on and this part interferes with it...sure I could mangle to mqake it fit but I'd like to buy the right part.

Thanks,

Your thinking of the pipe flange and I'd think any exhaust shop worthy of calling itself one would have a bucket full of them in all sizes.

Thanks Dave-Makes sense but the shop I went to
didn't have'm the day I went to have the exhaust
system done..of course you meant a respectable one....

You know I just recently dicovered who your
picture is of..Mark Twain right? Thought it
was you all this time..

Yes, I've been called a [censored] before.
No problem there!

I remembered a manufacturer named Waldrons. They sell vintage style exhaust systems. The flange was shown in the kit but not listed seperately..I asked and the sold me just the flange.

Waldrons is worth remembering if you have an old stock exhaust system..it's all they make.

Keith..Well it used to be Twain but somehow it went away and the site guru can't seem to figure out how to get it back. I'm ten thumbs on a computer so I have no idea what or how. My hair is still a little darker than Clement's was otherwise we're both old but I'm still vertical.

if you look in the back of the walker cataloque (passenger car and light truck master cataloque) they do have a listing on all of those types of things

Yes I noticed now you're a box with a red X in it. I'd try reinstalling the pic from scratch. You must have done it the first time..If ya need help I'm computer capable and would be willing to give it a try..

Twain lived many places..including a small place about 10 mile from where I live..house is still standing. Out in the country.

padresag-

When in my early twenties and between opportunities I used to deliver car parts for a auto parts store..Walker was the name back then ,..quess it still is..

Thanks,

Keith

check with the folks at Kanter. They carry a lot of unique off the wall stuff.

Looked up system for a 1950, 3600 and it's funny but Kanter lists one part number for 1929-1974 Chevrolet truck mild steel exhaust system $310. I can't believe that the exhaust were the same for all years.

Walker doesn't go back that far.

the listings don't go back but if you look in their catalogue that I mentioned they do list quite a few items further back that I also stated - under accessories and they do show a picture and give measurements with a part nbr

How about this one here

Here is the collar in Walker cat.

Sorry the link does not get you to the end of the cat. search. Follow 1950 Chevrolet 3/4 ton and you will find the flange. 31851 is the part number. I think this is the part you are looking for, as well as myself. I need one too.

By following the search for 54 1/2 ton I did not find the flange.

guys I am not talking about the online cataloque but the paper one which is still avail. the online version does not seem to carry the accessories section such as ubends pipe and all the gskts, flanges and studs .
my printed cataloque which is 3 years old goes back to 1950 but a lot of the exh pipes are not avail, but listings for mufflers and clamps are.
the online cataloque is frustrating

I noticed that my previous link didn't work. I was trying to point to the flanges sold by JC Whitney. I've used these before when the local muffler shop couldn't help me.

Leon

Leon-Yup..I didn't look hard enough..I'm sure one of those would have done the job for 1/2 the price. I'll have to remember they sell less than they used to but Whitney is still alive. Man all the stuff they used to sell in the catalogs I got as a teenager.

Thanks,

Keith

I knew it was out there.$8.99

Lonnie..good one! Another way to make the same part. This a stamped(formed) Sheet metal part as opposed to a simple blank-i.e. as if the part was made with a cookie cutter.

You've all been god sports- You looked hard and found it..
