    Headers are the oem chevy/gmc 1986 454 truck headers.they are made of stainless steel. They came on all 1986 trucks and rv's with a 454 engine - they last forever and clean up with steel wool. I installed the correct metric pipe plugs where the smog tube holes were. They are short and only...

    Where to buy seats? Buckets or Bench? 1987 1 ton 6.2 Pickup

    Junk yard . Bucket seats from a 1981 thru 1991 suburban will work. You will have to weld in a front mounting point on the inside rail on both seat tracks. You can remove these peices from a suburban also.
