It appears they aren't the same but they could interchange...

Crap, for new ones I could get some block huggers. And all used ones don't specify if there ss. Anybody got pics of there block hugger headers on a square body? Was thinking of going with some long tubes. But all the ones I read about seem to need some kind of work with the o2 sensor. I think it will be easier to add to my existing exhaust by just cutting at collector rather then half way down the pipe.

The drawback to long tubes is they either interfere with something but generally hang too low for wheeling. I know someone who's using sandersons. There sort of mid tubes. There's also Hedman that makes mids.
If you could get some pics it would be awesome. I'm trying to find some headers that will bolt right on and clear everything with plenty of room. Since my frame is quite bent. And gotta work with existing exhaust. I know I'm going to have to deal with issues with xmember and probably some motor gremlins. So anything I can do that will take the least amount of work I'll try to do. I barely got to drive my truck and I'm pretty eager to get it to run again.

I'll do some digging around. You have the 5.3 in already?
Oh heck no, I wish. Just putting together parts list and a game plan. Next couple weeks im goin to start ordering stuff. I figure the sooner I know whst i should be looking for, the better chances are I might find some used ones.

Ah ok now I remember!
I have a '86 K5 Blazer and a 2003 5.3 liter Vortec engine. I used the Trailblazer SS manifolds, and they cleared my frame rails just fine. You can read my build info below...
