Bellflowers on my '62. - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

jchav62 · 05-14-2008, 05:17 PM

I've had these Bellflower tips in the garage for over a year now. I got an Autozone gift card from my brother for my b-day so I went and grabbed some Cherry Bomb glasspacks. Last Wednesday, I talked to one of our mechanics here at work that does some stuff on the side. I told him what I wanted, he gave me a great price and I followed him up to Chimayo, NM that evening. Here's the final product... Sounds great too!!

those are different, but i dig them, love the look!!!!

Great '60s look, JC. I bet they'll be a bear to keep clean though. Wax 'em twice with carnuba at least once a month - It will be much easier to get the road dirt off.

I'm diggin' the other touches too, like Felix and your Route 66 plate. Love the 1960's - I was in El Paso during that decade.

After I finish my 72 (if ever), I'm getting a 4-5-6 for this very reason! Love 'em! Your truck is the perfect example of what I want.

originalJD · 05-15-2008, 03:06 AM

I'd like to know what kind of bumper that is. That would look sweet on my truck.

NF65Fleetside · 05-15-2008, 05:58 AM

The pipes are 2 1/2" headers to the mufflers, then 2" mufflers to tips. I had to reduce the pipe size because the mufflers and tips are 2".

Santa Fe is loaded with Santa Fe style homes. Want one? We would like to sell ours...

Funny. I have a pic of your old truck hung up too... Except in the pic I have, the truck has chrome steelies and the bumper is right side up... Cool!

Actually that is my house............I've been in it for a little over 3 years and the neighborhood is booming. My place is surrounded by million dollar + custom homes, townhouses and live/work studios. It's on it's way to becoming its own self-suficient community complete with its own grocery store. BUT like jchav62 said we are looking to get out of it......we need a more classic truck friendly place. (the garage is built on a slope and doesn't allow for convenient garage parking) It's an awesome neghborhood..........check out the site! www.aldeasantafe.com
