Headers

I have a 1969 C10 shortbed with a 350 and muncie m22 4 speed. Truck has been lowered 3 in front and 4 in rear. I put upper and lower a-arms from a '86 C10 and my long tube hedman headers are hitting the back of lower a-arms. I wanted to know if anyone makes shorty headers for our trucks? I looked on jegs and summit and couldnt find anything on the shorties. I figured I would just run shorties and eliminate the problem. Thanks guys!

Re: Headers

My long tube Hedman Hedders hit my A-arm slightly too. I just dented the tube with a ball peen hammer a wee bit.

Shorty headers will gain you pretty much nothing if you're looking for performance.
