That's one option as well as running them to the rear, you will also have room for that as well. These trucks are an open book... if you can think it, it can generally be done.

You can modify the stock crossmember with a couple of pieces of 4" pipe, (3/4" long), welded in both sides.
This will allow exhaust, as big as 3",... to pass thru easily.

Edit: I type too slow,...

Sounds Perfect!! I think wait until I get the drop in and see how things go from there. Right now its a bare frame but I want to set everything up before powder coating. Thanks again!

went to Texas Goodguys this past weekend with my dad. we had a really great time, even got him on a nascar ride. we havent bonded like this in a long time but glad we did. even let him drive the truck around the track.

1stchevy · 10-05-2011, 06:10 AM

Enjoy those moments with your dad, mine passed away in 2008. Looks like you guys had fun. That NASCAR ride had to be a rush!

TXPinstriper · 01-16-2012, 04:59 PM

If you wouldn't mind me asking what back spacing do you have on the front....Very nice truck by the way...

LEX · 01-16-2012, 05:07 PM

Sweet truck. Are you going to enter it in the Drag for Diabetes show in Pearland?

robertrocha6 · 01-19-2012, 06:33 PM

Short clip of the 71 after lowering the rear a little more to even it out. Looks better. Good times bro!

the video is just quick look member robertrocha6 and i lowered the rear last night another 1/2" with a 1/2" lowering block from member way2low, so that it wouldnt have that much rake with the 6inch drop, its now 6-1/2" in the rear , just had to cut the bump stops a little but other than that no issues and no c-notch.
