It's a 1982 Federal modeln wiuth new engine last year.  I'm starting
to think I may have to build my own piece(s).  Here's a link to some
of the SS parts I might start with.

Then I'd still need the exhaust flanges that connect the crossover to
the heater boxes.    Hmmm.  The fun we have...............   Sources
for these flanges anyone?

BTW, my van is a 1982 which means it's 30 years old next year.
Although on the manufacture sticker by the gas tank filler hole reads:
 Manufacture date: 09/81.  Making the pre-westy shell 30 this
September.
