1981 Exhaust Replacement - What are my options
I'd like to upgrade what I have as it is completely stock, rusty, and now broken.
It's an 81 4wd deluxe. What can I get that will allow me to still pass smog.
Any guidance or links to what I can get is much appreciated.
Thanks,

Broken Exhaust 04
Broken Exhaust 05
Broken Exhaust 06

No idea what condition your truck is in stock or any engine mods, 300k on the engine or recent rebuild.Good info to put on the sig line here.
I got lucky with mine - found a fairly new exhaust in a parts yard about 7 years ago - seek and ye shall find.

It's a stock 1981 DLX 4WD. (General image now should be in the signature, will get engine image tomorrow).
It has a number of missing hoses to the carb, and am trying to piece some of the parts together.
Just ordered a FSM that I should be getting in a week or so and am very new to owning this truck so forgive my lack of knowledge.
I will look into going to a shop but would prefer to do it myself. Seems like there are a number of different exhaust manifolds out there. I could probably grab a universal catalytic conv. and universal muffler. Was hoping to shed some light on a decent set up that I can maybe just buy online somewhere and bolt it on.

Also, if the cat were bad it probably wouldn't pass either - so for the moment I'm guessing it is OK.
Is that the situation here?

Regardless, I am currently just trying to figure out the exhaust and will deal with the other missing pieces at a later date. That said, I need to get it smogged to officially register it. I can't drive it currently because there of the exhaust issue and the cloud of smoke I leave behind me.
