I take it that you don't have headers on either the panel or P/U?

I have them on the panel from the start, wasn't going to buy any for this build and these chrome headers I was given were badly blued and starting to rust. Cleaned them up by sandblasting and going to paint them...

They look as good as the day they were put it, I'm pretty sure any header gets pretty hot as do these cast iron manifolds that's on the pickup now..
