Header recommendation for LSX swap into 87 2wd 3/4 Ton Burb?
 
Like the title says need to know of a good set of headers that people have used with good results when dropping an LQ4 into a 73-87 2wd 3/4 Ton truck. That won't require any/much bending cutting etc...
I have heard some require a shift linkage modification, looking to avoid those.
Any suggestions?

If you aren't opposed to manifolds, Hooker makes a set of cast iron LS swap manifolds. They are pretty much unbeatable for clearance.

Yep, those are the ones.

Amazon has them cheaper though:

I'm s little late but I used new body style 6.2 Camaro shorty headers from eBay and they worked perfect on my 91 Suburban and 77 Blazer
