Headers, Truck or Car?
 
Looking at a new set of headers for my C-10. I've heard that the car headers will fit and place the collectors closer to the floor, or tucked better in the frame. Anyone have any pics?

Some 4x4 headers sit higher then others as well


I have 3 sets one hooker 72 k10 headman 68k10 i think headman 92 c1500 i can take pics tomorrow

One issue will be is your truck a standard as 67 72 trucks use a z bar from engine to frame

Other issue may be 2 wheel drive manual trucks use a bellhousing cross member mount

Try considering some 'vette' 2.5'' ramhorns run them into a single 3''

As others on this board have done, I went with hedman 68198 ( Chevelle ) for my C10/BBC.

They cleared everything without modification except for a single dimple required on the passenger side due to contact with the lower control arm bushing nut.

Potential clearance issues:

o depending on motor mounts, may need some trimming or use tubular stands
o automatic transmission linkage
o manual shift clutch linkage
o transmission crossmember

All this is based on research on this board.

I just bought a set of 2 1/2 “ rams horns from Speedway. They were listed on special for $99 free shipping. I got the gaskets and the 3 bolt rings to make up the head pipes too.
