hay phil!..read alot and ask away!. most questions you can get an answer to by checking in the search.. get the correct manual for your truck, and also correct manual for the year of your engine. that a good place to start. look also on Rods and sods or NSRA in the uk for help. somtimes they can help..but really....stovebolt is the place to be...im in Cambridge!!..ive none to look at around here...but somtimes at a show will catch a few and have a good look!..if you need anything specific send me a pm n i can always take a photo!

Hi Phil,sorry for the long delay,but i'm just north of the border from you in Ayrshire(just above Dumfries)
There's also a guy in the lakes near you also has an AD truck. I'll see if i can get a link,it may be good for you to 'hook up' as they say round here.
Like Daniel already mentioned if there's anything we can do to help just get in touch.

Sorry Phil,can't help on the exhaust pic from mine as it's got a V8,I assume you mean for a stock set-up?

Hello Phil,
I've got a '54 with a 235. The pipe is pretty much straight except for the up and over at the rearend. I could take a photo, are you wanting from the manifold back?
