CCKW 352 muffler installation

Hello all,

IÃ‚Â´m having problem to fit the muffler. It looks like too close to the booster (my cckw has the early brake system with boster on left hand side) and parking brake drum. IÃ‚Â´m not sure I have the right muffler pipe lenght.
IÃ‚Â´m looking for good pictures to guide me...

If you want to see some pictures of my restoration go to :

Thanks a lot,

Hello Ducatti,

sorry I cant't help with pictures, I haven't really taken the digital step yet, but I quickly measured the muffler of my early 352 with vacuum booster. It measures 55cm x 16,5 cm and it is a tight fit. You can squeeze a finger between the muffler and the hand brake, and the tail pipe allmost hits the booster. The muffler itself is held in place with a bracket that is bolted to the LH chassis rail. Tail pipe makes a downward turn after the muffler and ends behind the LH side mud flap. Hope this helps You a bit, maybe some day I can provide pics! Nice resto job You are doing!

Greetings, Arthur, Finland

Have a look at Joel's post in factoid's re CCKWX SWB exhaust, I am not sure if it should be the same as yours but it might help.

Great photos and a super job on rebuilding that old truck. Thanks for sharing these with us.

Thanks All,

I was away from some time.
Now I know at least two very important things. I do have the right muffler size and know that it has a bended pipe after the muffler. I can see the very small bracket riveted to the LH rail.

Thanks again,
Ducatti
