I did a google search and found a dealer that had one left in stock. It is on it's way to me now. Wasn't cheap when we talk surplus. But then again, if I went in to the dealer for a muffler for my current vehicles, I would likely pay about the same.
We had the problem with the cracked manifolds back in the early 80s. The DND cast hundreds of them, but made a slight error in the casting, resulting in the majority of them going to scrap. The local surplus dealer had two bathtubs full of them.
With the price of gasoline these days, and the poor fuel economy of these trucks, I don't think anyone will be making up new parts for them any time soon. I guess it's best to grab the parts while I can.
Thanks for all the advice guys.
