Of course the small blocks in those years sit farther back than the '67-'72's. So I don't know if you will have any clearance issues with the suspension crossmember. Those headers are long tube headers. I don't know if that matters to you or not.
Actually long tubes are what I want I understand they help make better torque but Those didnt fit either. Thats why I went with these huggers. I never thought I would have any problems with such tiny headers. I would love to go name brand and get something really nice but unfortunatly I am on a very strict budget. You see, Im married... So far with this truck I am sitting at about $450 out of pocket. That includes the Running truck, New Headers, new starter and some rewiring. Actually Make that $500 if you include the new cab with title I just picked up yesterday. I am doing all the work with money I make reselling things off of craigslist (Buy, Fix, Resell). I think these headers were less than $100. I guess the old saying stands true... You get what you pay for.
