Shorty headers?

Does anyone make a shorty header for our trucks? The only headers I can find for these year models are long tube or rod style. There are several for the 88 and up trucks. Will these work?

I think some of the people on the baord are using car headers. This might help.

I'm running a set of dynomax's for a chevelle. The part number is 85118, They fit great and the end of the collector sits right at the bottom of the frame rail. They were $115 from summit.
