Finally got the passenger side header done. It has a slightly different design than the drivers side header. The reason for that is because there is less room on the passenger side because of the starter. It made it more difficult to design but a little easier to build. I still have to finish welding the primaries to the flanges but needed a little brake first. Anyways here is some pics and hopefully tonight or tomorrow i can get the rest of the exhaust built underneath the cab.

They look great! You will be very happy you decided to build them!

Sick headers! Those things are sexy

I dont know if you changed it or have used Viairs before but they dont like being on their side like that. It can wear out the piston prematurely.

Looks awesome overall though, Id love to build a C10 someday

actually even though I thought the same thing about them, ViAir reccomends right side up or sideways, not upside down. Compressors die from heat and when the head is upside down it's hard for the heat to escape. Side ways is much better than upside down, but of course right side up is the best.

Well i finally got time to take the frame off the frame jig and get it outside. I wanted to see how everything looked and I had to replace the rear end with a pre 69 so my wheels would fit in the bed. Everything lined up perfect. Wheels are centered in both front and rear fenders, all of my bed mounts were really easy to line up and bolt together. I am stoked. Now i was going to figure out how i am going to run the rest of the exhaust. I am hoping to make a custom exhaust fitting that matches the contour of the rear roll pan. I also remade the gas tank and this time i ran the solid alluminum bracing all the way from side to side. Much stronger overall. I still have to weld the top cover part to the gas tank but left it unwelded until I figure out a clean way to run the electrical into the tank for the pump.
