i wouldn't run a 4-1 header like LCs on a truck unless i was building it as a street rig.  i bought a thorley, it was like $189+8.99 handling from summit.  looks like a nice piece, can't want to put it on

note:

on the thorley header, keep in mind that the sealing surface (the welded O-rings) are not flush with the flange.  So if you use any of the three center studs, put a washer behind the flange to level it out.  Otherwise you will pull the center of the header flange down too tight (even with proper torque) and warp the flange.  This will make the header leak at ends.
