Default truck headers fit f-bodies?

Hey all, I have some pace-setter longtubes bolted on my o7 silverado, and wanted to know if these would fit my o2 t/a...

No, they won't fit, the F-car is has some tight spaces...

Do your headers look anything like this (note the bends/angles of the primaries)...?

Does anyone have a pic of their "f-body" headers,(uninstalled of course) that would want to share so I can compare to my "truck" headers?

Appreciated man, I went ahead and copy/paste your pic to mine to get a better view, and my guess is they will not fit. Do your headers have the o2bung on the inner side of the collector? Heres the compare pic. Thanks again.

^^^looks like we both posted at the same time, passenger side header look almost identical minus the o2bung, but the driver side primaries look diffrent.

yeah, and the drivers side has that tab on the block if i remember correctly that you need to becareful of, if it clears, you may need to mod a ORY to work.. and yeah the 02s are on the inner side.

true. There is also more room under the hood of the truck. Only thing would be the steering rack that might be in the way.

You can just grind that tab right off.

I think #1 (drivers side) primary might be too close to the K member...might not be possible to make it work. See how the F-Body #1 seems to go further back before going straight down instead of down at an angle from that bend halfway down it's length? #5 (third ont he drivers side) looks like it is probably too far away from the block and will hit the steering shaft, which is what I think orangeapeel meant when he said steering rack...see how the F-Body header picture shows the primaries pulled in closer to the block?

Passenger side, other than the O2 bung really does look like the exact same header to me.
