Default 90*boot stock plug wires, will they fit?

I am thinking about buying some of these to better clear some headers that are on the way. So the question is will they fit on the trucks or are they too short.

I am thinking they may be too short but if those are from a Express van I have heard that they will fit??? I dont know, I would like to know the answer though as well.

That's what I'm afraid of. The listing on what they fit is very general. One place says they will fit but I would like better conformation. I also found some that look similar on ebay and are listed as used and came out of an truck with an 8.1L can't tell for sure if they are the same lenth as these or not. I am thinking about buying a set and trying them out unless someone can tell me for sure that they don't fit. I think I can get them new for around $35-40 so I suppose it's worth a shot.

I pulled a set off of a Regency edition that were the short car style wires like that. They fit, but just barely.

I have a set of LS2 wires and they look like that. They fit fine with the headders.

Only bad thing is those plug end boots.... They are really long compared to a stock wire. Plus its really big. Might hit a primary or two.

the car coils are longer but not as good as the truck coils

defeating the purpose? yes.
