I cant resist beating the crap out of a muffler

[Evan]

Heres inside a 51"

Then after I beat on it with a bar.  Wish I had a air cutter so I could reach in and cut it out.

 

I couldn't get the ears to bend all the way out.

 

Figured I'd share this here. The 51" 5" muffler in the application it was designed for.

The exhaust 90 was rusted out. I did a quick bandaid with the new muffler it hopefully lasts a few years.  

 

I also did brakes on the drives and painted the bed. This truck takes priority over my pickup I drive it more anyways. 

It's a 365 big cam I've done no power mods on.

 

Truck has 1.3mill on it. 365 was in framed at 837k replaced a couple injectors and clutch in about 15 years of owning it.

 

Its scarey to drive at night. I may try some led headlights one of these days.

Nice pics. Thanks Evan. I run an excavator I rent from time to time. Pulled alot of stumps and done a few cut outs for additions and a house. It's nice change from swinging a hammer is all.

Is that a '75' Midget parked there.

I used to have one of those. Cannot remember the year, but it had sliding side windows instead of crank up and down.

I don't know what the car is.

 

I'd love to swing a hammer instead of dirt work.

It's okay, but right now we are working on a real shack. Wish I never got in there as everytime we go to do something there is 2-4 nightmares that need attention before we can just get to our normal work.

Nothing like an old building to test your patience. Or bad bad dirt on a site for that matter.

Remodel additions suck. 

I may have spent 9 years of a former life with a framing hammer in hand. Sometimes I'd like to go back but I could never hit the nail without hitting my hand first ;)

[JAG1]

These days rarely hit my hand or fingers. I have gotten to where I can hit a fly landed on the deck or stud everytime without aiming. Brag brag brag!               

 

 Wish I could shoot a pistol that well. You know who's good with a gun is IBMobile that guy don't practice he hits every time. Cool to watch.
