Re: 1957 Chevy Truck
Those are really nice headers... but i gotta say, I'm a huge fan of how your whole front end tilts up for ALL THAT ROOM. That's awesome. Does it rattle around at all when cruising?

I love the tilt nose too. All original steel welded together. It rattles a little bit but not too bad. I have a strip of foam to pad the area under the windshield . That keeps it pretty quiet

Yours fit with NO interference? We're they advertised as block huggers? TIP: I read online somewhere. If your header bolts tend to come loose? Cut the flange between each header pipe. Just a neat slice, not cut a section out. I haven't tried it but I would if I buy new.

Re: 1957 Chevy Truck
Frank,
Is the description of these: http://www.ebay.com/itm/SBC-Small-Bl...481f26&vxp=mtr About like yours were described? 1-5/8" tubes, 2-1/2" collectors, 5/16" flanges, etc? You didn't say if yours are ceramic coated or stainless?

Re: 1957 Chevy Truck
Dan - there's so many different headers ... I searched for ones that looked like the shape I needed... I definitely needed the front pipe to stay high . There was no fit issue at all on passenger side . On drivers side it fit but it's touching the steering shaft. Not the part that moves , just the outer sleeve. I'm gonna put a flat spot in that tube so it doesn't touch. Other than that it fits like a glove . Stainless steel.
Here's the exact listing on eBay http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item...d=231480002253

Re: 1957 Chevy Truck
Yup, one step at a time. Looks good from the headers to the exhaust tips.
