Which Headers? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

renegade8720 · 06-08-2008, 01:39 AM

I am wanting a set of ceramic coated headers for my 68 with a 350, angle plug heads. I have a set of Headman full length, but they hang too low below the frame. I saw on here somewhere that the full length headers for a Chevelle application work on our trucks but do not hang as low as the truck headers. I am running a 3" drop front and 4" drop rear. I would like my exhaust to stay up in the frame rails.
Thanks in advance for any advice or suggestions.

Thorley makes tri-ys that work real nice.

Early Classic sells a nice set, made by Sanderson, or try Sanderson.

I checked with Sanderson and they suggessted the block huggers. They said their 3/4 lngth would not fit with my angle plug heads. I do not want block huggers. I know that Headman makes a shorty style and Patriot. I am thinking of going with the Patriot right now.

I know I have pics of them on the 69 fleet somewhere I will find them later and post them for you.

Not sure about 2wd's, but I have Hedman Elites on GQ and it was a big
differance in clearance vs. what I had on there before I changed them.
(If you know about 4wd's mine are full length & higher than spring eyes)

The thorley's will put you right about here. If you want it in the frame rails, you'll have to go with shorty's:
