Survivor 1972 Dodge D100 found.....
I was up late last night getting this exhaust tip installed useing flood lights under the truck. I got started and was determined not to stop until it was done. Found the chrome exhaust tip and about 5 feet of nearly new exhaust pipe which it was welded too laying under an old dodge truck at the local pick-and-pull. That same day we found 4 like new rubber tips for the sun visors, a MOPAR horn button in a van, and a speedo cable in that same van.
The old tail pipe from the muffler back was like swiss cheese and was actually drooping under its own weight behind the rear axle. I decided to cut it off behind the muffler and just turn it out so it would exit right in front of the driver side rear wheel. I was in Auto Zone a few days ago buying a new battery for our 07 Ram, and while buying the new exhaust clamps I saw that these slash-cut, chrome tips sell for $22.99 a piece! I paid $1 per foot for the tail pipe and chrome tip, $6 total and I think it turned out pretty good.
I still have to polish and wax out the passenger side of the truck which will explain it's dull look compared to the rest of the truck.
Friday I plan to finish polishing out the interior which is only the ceiling at this point. I'll "gently" scrub up the visors and reinstall them as well. Then reinstall the old rubber floor mats which I have already cleaned up.
