the 4500 never came behind a 318 iirc, only the 360 and bigger

edit: take a pic of the rear axle if you can. that way we can tell if its a ld or hd

Ok fellas I found out I'm te proud owner of a 360 lol sorry about the double posts it's my phone. I have been working on changing up the wiring harness for like three hours and still counting I an having to convert the v-6 wiring harness to a v-8 it's working tho just a pain. Idk how to post pics on here or I would. But I have another question on this truck there is no y pipe the two pipes off of the manifold go straight into a two in one out cat so my question is what are the advantages of stripping the cat out since I already have it off it wouldn't be hard thanks for the help guys
