Default Longtube headers question...

I picked up some nice S-10 LS Swap headers at a garage sale for $20 and my question is will they fit on my 03 Sierra 2wd auto 1500 with out serious modification. If not then I will just sell the headers and make some extra pocket change) thanks

I don't know for sure, but usually the headers are designed to fit a specific chassis. Therefore, I would not be surprised if it didn't fit.

They are "LS swap v8 long tube headers" they look like regular truck headers. Just not sure if the angles are right. I was just curious if any one has used these headers on a regular truck???

You probably got the Sanderson shorty headers, you can use on your truck but the angle will be off, custom exhaust work needed to connect them. I'd sell em

These are Full length LONG Tube headers. They are NOT shorties. If anyone has used these b4 plez comment. So it will save me a evenings worth of work. I know custom exhaust will have to be ran I just wanna know if they will fit without running into the frame. Motor mounts. Power steering. Ect. any body with exp. with these plez chime in. Thanks

being two wheel drive they might work. there's a fair bit of room, the two main concerns i can think of would be if they drop down far enough and if the front side will run into the cross member under the engine. post up some pics if you can.
