77 and 78 exhaust systems
« on: March 04, 2009, 07:52:54 pm »
I have a 1978 2wd Chevy big 10 with a 350 and 4 barrel carb. I was looking In  competitor catalog for exhaust systems. The one that I wanted to buy says its for a 73-77. I was wondering if anyone could tell me if that system would fit my truck? I know there were some frame differences between 77 and 78, but that's all. If you cant help me with this, do you know where I might find a fairly cheap system for my truck? Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

77 and 78 frames are identical. Not for sure, but 78 manifolds might be different is why they are stopping at 77.

I would suggest you buy the stainless x pipe exhaust system sold on this site instead of anything from whatever you were looking at, better exhaust system for a fair price. I'd be thinking about buying one for my truck, but it only fits 2wd trucks, and I'm going to be swapping my body onto a 4x4 frame eventually.
