47 ford 1/2 ton

[mushroom5]

Hi, here's a couple pics of my truck, got her going a month or so ago after sitting in the shed 30 odd years, rebuilt a 99a- 30 thou over and she's running pretty sweet. It had two leaves broken on one of the springs on the back and so I took 2 leaves out all round, rides quite nice but think I need to put another set of tapered shims on the front axel to correct the steering a bit. Other than that she's pretty much original. Made the headers myself and with no mufflers yet she's got a fair bit of a bark to it.., what do you guys recon are the best muffler to run with?, at the moment the 2 1/2 pipes are coming out just in front of the rare wheels.

Nice truck. Welcome to the barn.

Nice pickup. I would run a set of smithy's on it. Behind a flathead, they are the best sounding in my opinion.
