So I got my truck last week, and immediately started pulling pieces off that needed some attention. I took them to work to sandblast them down, this way I could start fresh. Apparently the owners/drivers of this vehicle couldn't get the correct part they needed, ie the suction ductwork for the cab heater, and just torched a new hole and moved the intake scoop back. Somethings never change. Does anyone have a left side (driver's)panel they want to part with? Not sure if this could be cut out and patched.
Well the latest undertaking was to take the exhaust pipes off and clean them up, since i noticed a few holes at the bottom of the 'J' pipe. The metal seemed kinda thin to me, so I blasted it to see to what extent. Looks like the whole bottom legs is very thin.
I guess I could have one of the welders at work cut the section out and re TIG it, but it might be just easier to buy a new one. What do you guys think? I saw Saturn and OD have them, has anyone gotten one from either of them before? Should I try a local shop? Is stainless pipe even worth it, I mean this is probably the original pipe making it about 34 years old. Seems it held up pretty damn good, until I got my hands on it.
