Thanks Al for your input. Do you
remember the wall thickness of the 5/8 tubes by any chance. Also I think I
remember that you had someone make your intake manifold. If that is true could
I hire him to make one for me? If so, what was his name and
number?

Robert;
Sorry, I don’t
know the wall thickness of the tubes. The box section bed rails are
.049; and I’m just going the guess the tubes are the same. If I
were you I’d be going after it with the ¾”, .049 wall that you
have.
The manifold was
made by Cliff
Manzke; cmanzke@cox.net. The manifold is a bit of
a challenge, and cost me about $1800 back when Cliff was working out of his
garage and charging me $25/hr. Now he has his own machine shop, and
the rate is probably more than double. But you can always ask
him. It is a thing of beauty (see photo).
