Lol. I really didn't want to either but it was better than paying to have my vehicles shipped. The long trip was made worse by the fact that it was January, we hit a 2-day blizzard as soon as we picked up in IL and the temp didn't get above 20° until about the last 3 hours of a 3 day trip...

Haha! It's all good. It's rare that someone on here downsizes, so I can definitely excuse the confusion. [thumbzup]

Lol. Actually, it's not. The M813 was somebody else's (I was only transporting it), I sold two deuces, three trailers and my M816 before I left Michigan and I sold the full-size deuce and the last M105 two weeks ago. All I have left is the bobber (like I said in the original post you replied...

Yeah, it hasn't been road-worthy since the day I bought it. As a full-size truck, it ran but had a shredded radiator. I started the bobber conversion but then got other trucks to work on so the bobber fell by the wayside. A friend hauled it 300 miles from MI to IL on an M872 trailer and then...

Lol. I'm not quite THAT bad. At least it's capable of moving under it's own power. Once I put some batteries in it. But it won't stop because the brakes are shot (mixed fluid). And I can't take it on the road because the hood flew up and destroyed itself (along with the windshields) while...

Lol. My wife is counting. 8-) Plus it kills my OCD to have a non-driving vehicle.

Thanks, man. All told, I sold four vehicles and a boat. Just accumulating too much crap. Now that the bobber is my only green iron, maybe I'll actually be able to finish building it. I mean, it's only been a four-year project so far... Lol

Sold it... :???:

Yep, 3.5". My bad. But I really don't think the multifuel engine flows enough (air or fuel) to justify a 5" exhaust. If you turn up the fuel enough to where you're that worried about EGTs, you're probably gonna be burning up pistons. But hey... you be you. [thumbzup]

My thoughts exactly. Very true. Something like a 900-series tip might serve the purpose. My full-size truck needs a new tip anyway because it rusted out, so it's good to explore options. Gotta keep mama happy!! I'm considering using the bobber as a tow vehicle for a 32' RV camper, so some...

Since I'm going to be tearing apart the exhaust anyway (and adding 395s), I'm seriously thinking of moving it to the back of the cab and adding a muffler and a rain cap. That should solve all the exhaust issues. I don't want to dump it out the bottom because I don't want to lose any fording depth.

Yep, that's what I found, too. Anybody have any idea what the bend radius is on these things? There would really be no point in that. The turbo outlet is only 3" and you're only pushing 130HP so a big exhaust would only be a bigger rain catcher. Plus it might get in the way of the tire.

Yeah, best price I found on a pipe is $150 plus shipping. I can pick up a couple 3" elbows and weld it up WAY cheaper than that.

Fixed the hole in the radiator on my bobber... and as soon as I fired it up to verify the repair, discovered a HUGE hole in the j-pipe. It never ends...

It's all good. Post 4020. :)

Straightening the fins won't fix the holes in the tubes. ;-)

If it was 46 years old, damaged and operational, I'd be ecstatic. But this one is brand new with zero miles on it. Such is life...

Installed radiator drain cock. Bonus: the damage done by failure to plan.
