here are a few more i found. That pic of the front is showing about 2.5 inches from the ground and its hard to see but the headers are lower.... NEED SHORTY HEADERS

69gmcshorty · 07-08-2009, 12:47 AM

i am now thinking of fabbing a good mount for a front swaybar on the lower tubular control arm....

ANY THOUGHTS OR TRICKS WOULD BE APPRICIATED

from Hillsboro OR

Beautiful truck! Here's a thread on headers for lowered SBC trucks. You'll find your swaybar answer the Suspension forum. If you don't find it by using the search function feel free to post a new thread topic.

Welcome from Fort Worth. Nice truck.

Tow Me · 01-06-2010, 02:15 PM

I'm just down the road from you in Roseburg. My dad picked up a set of shorty headers for his '71 SWB Chevy at the Portland Swap Meet. Got them for $75. I got a set of long headers for my '81 crew cab and they have the small collectors so hopefully they wont drag much.

You ever come down to Graffiti Weekend in Roseburg?

69gmcshorty · 01-06-2010, 03:01 PM

tell you the truth i have never heard of grafitti weekend. whats it all about. when is it

Tow Me · 01-06-2010, 03:16 PM

It's usually around the 4th of July and its a weekend of oldies cars/trucks. There are a couple shows, races, poker run, cruises and so on. Saturday has a huge show-n-shine at River Forks Park and that evening is cruising galore! I think the 1973 is the limit for the show-n-shine.
