What is funny is the truck version is $25 more money and has smaller tube sizes. Go figure.

The 2" tubes on the Chevelle ones are more suited to bigger motors & more radical 396's so they would not be a good choice for a stock or mild 396 or even a stock 454. Those would make more usable power with the smaller 1-3/4" tube headers like the truck headers.
Smaller tubes will work better on this bbc...it's a mild build and the torque will be better with them

I'm interested too...I assume it's decent because he's lowered but...
