68-87 BBC 1/2 Ton P/U Elite Headers

The 68-87 BBC 1/2 Ton P/U Elite Headers by Hedman are designed specifically for classic Chevrolet pickup owners with big-block Chevy engines. These headers cater to the 1968 through 1987 model year C10, C20, and similar half-ton trucks, providing an essential upgrade for those looking to enhance performance and efficiency. If you are focused on maximizing horsepower and torque from your BBC engine swap or restoration, these headers are a critical component of your exhaust system.

Constructed from heavy-duty steel tubing, the Hedman Elite headers feature mandrel-bent primaries that optimize exhaust gas velocity and minimize turbulence. This design ensures smooth routing of exhaust gases from the engine block to the collector, avoiding tight kinks or restrictive bends that can hinder performance. The proper header tube diameter, collector design, and exit geometry work together to reduce backpressure and enhance scavenging, leading to improved power delivery and fuel efficiency.

These headers are perfect for restorers, hot rodders, and truck enthusiasts who are rebuilding or upgrading their 1968–1987 Chevrolet half-ton pickups with big-block powerplants. Designed for easy installation, they fit within the stock engine bay without requiring extensive modifications, making them a practical choice for both performance upgrades and restorations.
