best place to buy headers, bumper

I need to order some headers and a rear bumper for my 80 k10. Cant seem to find anything I like (cheap) on ebay and LMC seems really expensive. Any idea where I should order? thanks

Re: best place to buy headers, bumper

I got mine at Summit (Right around the corner in Sparks, NV) Think I spent about $280 for Summit Headers (Blackjacks), Hooker Dual Exhaust (Fitted Pipes and clamps) & Summit Turbo Muffs - Loops over the rear axle and curves out behind the tire..



Took about 4 easy hours to install.

Kinda wish I'd not got the Hooker pipes and just put some pipes out in front of the rear tires - I like that look.

I can get the numbers off my receipt if you need em for your search.

I was looking at that kit, but getting the hooker headers instead

How did it fit with the transfer case, and how is it routed?, and pics?

Fit pretty well. The only issue I have is the passenger side tube around the T/C and over the crossmember needs about 12º of vertical bend to mate with the headers evenly ( I used Pepboys flex and made it up) Otyher than that it's straight forward. I would suggest using the Sawzall to relieve the tube to muffler mounting - gets kinda tough without the flare.

Next time The truck/daylight and me are home at the same time I'll try to grab pics.

Re: best place to buy headers, bumper

If the truck doesn't see any road salt I would go for the Auto zone special. I spent $80+ not including the wrap nor silicone spray. My last set lasted for 6 years.
