390 headers

I am looking for headers for my 1973 F-250 4x2 camper special with a 390 and a C6 trans. I need to know if any body makes headers for this truck. This seems to be a hard one to find.
Thanks!!!

A little hint, even though I say stay the heck away from headers, try a 360 engine instead of a 390. That should do it.

hEY mAN,
Thanks for the post! I went to stan-headers and saw some for my truck! Thanks again! Also have you ever heard of someone running a D2TEA head and a C8AEH head on the same engine??

Paul, don't worry about the mixed heads. The C8AE-H heads and the D2TE-AA heads have the same size ports and valves, and the chambers look the same too. The only problem you may have is that the exhaust seats will wear faster in the C8's. Most of the D2's have induction hardened exhaust seats. DF
