4x4 exhaust manifolds

[eric67m]

I need to replace one of my ram horn exhaust manifolds. One of mine is cracked and unsucessfully welded. I am looking for the most cost effective solution.

My truck is a 1967 K10, 327, 4 spd. The passengers side manifold is my main problem but the other has its own issues.

My options are..

ebay / craigslist $50 for a set of used "no cracks" generally with one stud missing

I see that LMC (ugggh) shows one that looks like a straight style that the 4x4 used. I have heard that if you ask any questions more involved than what is printed in their catalog that it is way too complicated. pric $100

I have heard about the tru-rams but do not really want to spend $300-$500 for the set. I would also have to find a new way to mount my alternator. Mine mounts off of the drivers side manifold.

Does anyone have an opinions or know a vendor that carries anything. What have you guys done in the past to repair or replace cracked manifolds?

Thanks in advance.
