Thanks for the tips, I will be referring back to this page when i get the truck home and I go exhaust shopping. As for the HP/Torque rating, I was told that by the previous owner. After some reading of my own I think it's probably closer to 350. Still, loads more power compared to the 302! :D...

I'll definitely be getting some video of it, before and after I do anything with it. I just learned tonight from one of it's previous owners that the motor is dated 1968 which means is a high compression rocket engine! I'm happy as a clam, as 1968 was the first year of production for this...

I think that's what i'll do then. If I have enough time this Sunday and I get everything else on the truck squared away I will just run straight pipe back and stop at the front rear axle. Flowmaster it is, you thinking single or dual? I'll leave the original stack on for looks and originality...

I don't want to add anything to the outside of the truck that doesn't belong there. If I go dual exhaust I will run it under the truck out the rear. I want it to still appear original, because once I get it fully repainted and purdied up I hope to take it to Veterans day parades and car shows...

I am confused. :-? Being a MV crowd I thought most here would scoff at the idea of a vintage Army truck sounding like a hot rod? Then again, trying to quiet down a 455 Oldsmobile would be like trying to make an Indy 500 car sound like a weed whacker. It's a **** of a torque monster with a lot of...

I have a deuce that's powered with a V8 Oldsmobile rocket engine. Good engine, All stock, LOADS of power. Problem is, the truck is really loud because there's no exhaust hooked up at all. The manifolds are there though and extend a couple feet back. So, it's setup for dual exhaust. However, I...
