They pretty much fit just like 68 TT's hooker headers did, but mine are 1.75" tubes. I'm using the '72 BB motor mounts and also had contact on the clamshell bracket. I already had purchased a set of Hedman Elite headers for 67-up trucks (#69820), but the hung down WAY low. Below is a pic of the truck headers on the drivers side and the chevelle headers on the pass side. BIG difference in ground clearance, since my truck is lowered. The truck headers hung down even with the bottom of the lower a-arm... The chevelle headers are dead even with the bottom of the frame rail.
Nice pic to add to the thread. Great side by side view for comparison.
