So I'm looking to keep Stock Straight  Axel,  Has Leafs in Rear ,  Someone put this huge Tank under the truck front back,  I just saw one on face book , had straight axel Lowered , even had stock gas tank , PS you can put a mustang  tank in the bed  reasonable 64-68 mustang tank 32 5/8 x 24 1/2 16 gal c5zz9002D for $119 plus stuff ..  but I'm all for stock for most part , gas slosh in cab???  

I'd also like to do new exhausted NON y block stock , to get dual exhaust ..  Some things need fixing  sorry .. Putting c 4 stock column in pretty quick..  Love the lines of a 56 .. Got lucky here.. Looking to get her out of the garage soon!

One suggestion for dual exhausts would be rams horns.  Available aftermarket and I see used originals for sale here and there.  Just make sure you get th ones for a Ford Y Block.  The ones for the Lincoln engine are different and will not bolt up.

The rear outlet manifolds cause interference with the steering column on the left side.  What I did on my '53 with a 312 was to use a right hand manifold on the left side, which pointed the outlet forward and downward, where it is easy to make up an exhaust pipe from the manifold to the muffler.

Yup Ram Horns Like $389 ...  I think the clearance better ,... Good Call ..
