Hooker 68-72 big block Chevelle headers fit my 69 C10

[68 TT]

I just put a set of 2" tube Hooker 2455HKR Competition series big block Chevelle headers I had sitting around on my 69 stepside.

They fit great but will require a modified transmission crossmember for exhaust routing since they are tucked up about 3" higher than truck headers. Great added ground clearance for lowered trucks.

The driver side clam shell motor mount housing (if you are running that style) will need a small notch to let them bolt up.

I was surprised they fit at all let alone so well since I had earlier tried a set of Camaro headers that didn't even come close to fitting.

In the pics the passenger side collector will come up a bit as it is hitting the T-350 crossmember flange and the driver side will come down a bit with the required mods to the clam shell.

I didn't make the modifications to mine to make them bolt up as the engine is coming out but they would work great with good floor pan, frame and suspension clearance all around.

As long as you have an auto trans or a hydraulic clutch no other mods would be needed to use them. The rear tube is right in the middle of where the clutch Z-bar would go. There is plenty of room to re-route that tube to make it work if you so desire.
