Not drag race? BBC in C10 headers
Been looking for set of ceramic headers for my 69 Panel. Same as C10 just bigger.LOL

Looking for 2" tube 3.5 collector that actually fits C10 with bbc. Most hang low .I know Chevelle headers are up tight to frame but Hooker 245;s seems to have fitment issue on driver side.

Hoping some of the old hot rodders here have truck with headers that fit,up tight that hey like and can remember whos they are.LOL

I had mine built by a local muffler shop that would build headers on my truck. I had tried everybody's headers and they all hung too low. Hookers were the worst. They drug the ground on my lowered C10.
I'll check with my boy and see if he still has them in his shop since we switched to twin turbos.
If he does we will figure a way to ship them to you. We don't need the anymore. 2 1/8 to 3" collecters, equal length.

yea know shortys work but wanting long tube headers. Did not want to build a set since want ceramic coating. Plus cost more to coat than buying a bolt on set, UI have built long tube collector headers and man PIA and being in truck, Damn sure not something want to do.

Got to be someone making decent set that fits like suppose to, Hell even at 600 or 700 bucks cheaper than building and having coated.

May endup buying set cutting and fitting up tight welding up than paying out ass for coating.

I remember building set for my 66 Nova. Number once had 14 pieces in it to get by shock mount.
In retrospect would have been easier to move the damn engine back few inches, Moving engine in Panel no so easy.

Like I said I may by one of the factory sets and rework, Hell rebuilding half of body after last bodyman or 1/8ass body man screwed it and just covered rust. Might as well weld up set of headers whule by argon.
