I dont know why i never posted this but here it goes. The truck is a 78 c10 shortbed, lowered 4 inches. Its sitting on 20 in procomp wheels. The 5.3 is from a 02 Silverado. It has an edelbrock intake, edel. cam, 750 proform dp, and custom 1 3/4 long tube headers. Trans is a th400 w/ 4000 stall. Rear is a 12 bolt w/4.56s and mini spool. Bodywork is now in progress. I just need to decide on a color. here is a link to some pics of the truck.

good morning. nice to see someone with a c10, go lsx. im in the process of swapping a '06 5.3/4l60e combo in a '87 c10. im a little inexperienced with a wrench but i can read the hell out of an article. good luck on choosing a color. im hotrods flat metallic black with the hood chevy pewter. the c10 also has the 4/6 drop with rallys n baby moons.

hey there i have a 78 c-10 with a 5.3 and 4l60e i cant find headers for it i just cant find a set that will bolt up im using the transdapt engine mounts
are yours modified and if not what brand!!!

hey fiano. My headers were built from big block 68-72 chevelle headers. We just got a pair of flanges, hacked off the bbc flanges, had to modify the pipes a little, but the fit great. If you dont want to go the custom route, i have been told by a few people on the truck forum that 98-02 f-body headers work with minimal tweaks. not a hundred percent sure on that one though. One guy assured me that they would. one of the magazines did a c10 build using some mid length hedman headers. let me see if i can dig the part number up for you.

The mag that did the swap was Hotrod. I cant find my paper copy but here is the link to the article.

I know there is a pic of the headers with the part number visible in the mag but they dont show it on the site. I think my dad may have it, i will ask him tomorrow and post it.

anyone with pics of c-10 lsx swaps please post. it will help me stay motivated. im trying to complete my truck by labor day. also check my albums. tell me what you all think. im thinking of a color change.

Man I wish I had the post 81 front end. I love the full billet grille. The only motivation you need is the thought of a little 326 cube engine spanking 5.0s all day long and getting better fuel mileage while doing it.

also, i have a '91 suburban radiator support with double head lights(side by side). it looks real mean but i love the black phanton grille. looks real mean. i just love shor'dee(my c10). c10 lovers, post those pics. go to cardomain.com and look for '84 chevy c10(BMFTrucks). his truck is so sick, with the headlight game. he is a killer.

hey they are The Muscle Rods/Hedman midlength headers but no part #
