Probably not !!

Why does everyone wanna put these headers from Mustangs on. Why dont they get the same headers but for their truck. Is there something special about them ?

The headers you use has more to do with how the engine sits in relation to the vehicle around it than to the engine itself...

Since these heads were never installed on these trucks I doubt you'll find a set that are specifically made for the combo, but others here have had luck with standard truck headers on these heads.. some minor clearancing is usually necessary though.

It's more about routing around the engine compartment, frame, and firewall topography than about bolting to the exhaust.
