Let me know what you find. I have the same thing in my 79. Shorties seem to be my only alternative. You will most likely need to build your own set of custom headers to work with your truck. These trucks were never offered with 351 w.

There were no 351Ws offered until after 80 for pickups so there are no apps available for your truck.

Some of the guys have used 302 as a reference, maybe one of them will pop in and offer you some guidelines.

Thanks guys I have seen issues in other apps using 302 headers.I was concerned the wider taller 351 might not clear the frame.Always better to ask before spending hard earned money
