Like I said they will fit. I've used them several times. The only thing I've ever had to do was make a small little relief where the O2 bung is.

here's a set I put on a truck a few months ago:





I won the auction so a set should be showing up in the next week or 2.

Not yet, I have only test fit them once and I didn't see any issues.
I bought them for my 84 blazer that I'm building,but I'm thinking about putting them on my 89.

honstley just send your hookers out to be coated or do it your self and save yourself the trouble your GOING to have with the obx products. i own a 78c10 as well as a 96 honda street car. and ive seen nothing but problems with OBX products.

anyays but its your choice if you just have to repaint or coat compared to buy these have cracking problems, fitment problems, and then have to put your hookers back on.

Sorry to bring up an older post, but Vile I was thinking up buying the headers you showed on your truck. I was just wondering other than the small relief, did you seal the O2 bung with a small bolt and was the clearance issue much?

I just plugged it with an 18mm recessed plug (looks like a bigger diff check plug). I would say the clearance was no more than 1/8"-1/4" to fit.

The O2 bung has a block off bolt that comes with it.  I bought a set.  Haven't put the engine in the truck yet.

Right on sounds good those headers look pretty nice and I really like the shorty style with the gasketless connection. How's your ceramic coating holding up Vile? What brand are they and where did you get them?

The ones I put on that truck held up fine for over a year now. I have a stainless set on my 85K20 -no coating and I put a set on my 88V10 Blazer and the coating lasted great til the day I sold it anyway. I bought mine on Ebay from some hong kong type dealer.
