My Headmans crapped out. What are you guys using that fits on a SBC in our trucks? Can I see some pics?

I was thinking Hookers or Thorleys. Something with a thick flange at least.

Thanks guys.

I had a pair of Hooker Competition headers that I liked. They had a nice thick flange. You'll have to do some tweaking to get them to fit if you have a 67 though because the chassis rails are wider than the other years.

I like my Thorleys except for the chrome. They don't maintain their appearance for very long on a daily driver. But you can't beat them for durability. Thicker flange and tubing will outlast most others.
You might also check on Hooker Super Comps. They're available ceramic coated which will keep them looking good.
