I'm not running them, but I would assume these from Early Classic Enterprises would fit just fine....

Im runnin Edelbrock TES on my truck and i love 'em fit is perfect you can still change the spark plugs!

Why would you look at a header thats not for your application??

Just about every header Mfg. makes a header for our truck's.

I spent $90 on a new cap, rotor and MSD wires b/c I thought that was it. Changed the plugs while I had it all apart and found that #2 was cracked. Cracked the new one putting it in too. The #1 is at the same angle so I only use a wrench on those two now. You have to use a wrench on 5 & 6 too b/c they are behind the two tubes. It still dose not take any longer to change the plugs than it did with the regular manifolds.

Those Sanderson's from Early Classic Enterprises look like the cc10's that I have on my 77 blazer. The collecter is a little close to the firewall on the driver's side and the collecter bolts are a PITA to get to on both sides. I've also had problems with collecter gaskets leaking, but I think it's because the muffler shop didn't line up the down tube very good. I also have to get under the truck to change the #5, 7, 6, & 8 spark plugs, but that might be from the plug wire looms being in the way on top.
