I'd say odds are slim to none. But I can't confirm that from my own experience. I just know that header fitment is very application specific. That I do know from experience.

Maybe one of the Gurus has Galaxy experience.

I kind of doubt it too. Also, headers for the '61-'63 Galaxies are different than the ones for the '65 and later, they don't interchange.

From the car headers I have seen the truck headers don't sweep back far enough to clear the cross members. The truck headers are also taller which may lead to ground clearance problems even if they did clear.

Now that you mention it, there are more differences. The exhaust ports on early (pre-'65) heads are higher (the bolts are in the same place though) than the later heads. Even if the late model truck headers slid into the chassis, the ports would leak on the tops.
