I've use the setup on my 84 K10 with headers, it fit just fine with both the TH350 before and the TH700R4 now. I also used it on my 86 C10 (TH700R4) and 80 C15 (TH350C and then TH700R4) both with headers. The crossmembers are a little different on those two, but it didn't have any issues with either. They include clamps and the pipes are expanded for the joints between pipes. I did weld my header reducers to the head pipes and you have to cut the pipes if you install on a short box since they are long enough for a longbed too. I can take a pic of the system I just put on my Indy Hauler but it will have to be in a few days since I'm headed out of town for a wedding.
I don't know how well the system would fit with the early style 'double hump' crossmember that Mike and Jeff are using.
