Ron,
How were you able to determine that your exhaust tubes were original? (The 1.75" tube on my 1969 also appears original, but I cannot determine if it was a replacement installed many years ago.)
Thanks,
Keith

Hello Keith, first i should ask-are you measuring ID, or OD? Usually on exhaust pipe you measure the OD for the correct size. I cannot say for sure that Nissan used one specific size of exhaust pipe. But one of the OD measurements that i got was from my 66 Patrol that was in my family since new, and i know for sure it was original. The second measurement was from a 68 Patrol that i got from Papabear from Albuquerque a couple of years ago, and it looks and measures the same as my original. Not sure if that helps much, but thats how i came up with that.
