header question

From what I have learned from the site I think my 71 has a 67 frame and I'm having a problem finding a set of headers that will fit. I would appreciate any info what brand would fit. Thanks for help. P.S. how can I tell for sure it's a 67 frame.

Chevy: mike i found out when i got my 1970 1/2'er that there are number on the frame rail near the brake master cylinder, they are the Vin number for the truck and you can check them out in the LMC catalog . as for the headers,, i have a pair that i got Hedman Hedders, i found them in the JEGS catalog,,they fit good on both sides.

Re: header question

Are the top rails on a 67 frame wider than the ones on a 71?

Re: header question

Ran headers on the 68 burb for years, and the best ones were by far Hooker Super comp's. I had to special order them at the time, and it took a long time to get em as well. That was, geeze 10 or so years ago? Dang, time fly's.
Any way, they fit a hell of a lot better than the other pair that were on there. I think those were Eagle headers?

Re: header question

the 67s did not have a dimple where the power steering box goes, or should go...a poweer steering box will not bolt onto a 67 without an adapter or a bunch of washers, and Hello out east in the land of Truman, I live up north...let me know if you need anything.

Re: header question
