Don't know about basic searches, but places like Jegs, Summit and etc, have headers,basically the same frame,dodge didn't change that much in those years,good luck,I cut my headers out with a torch,in about 10 pieces,pain in my butt!But happy with manifolds, oh yeah,I like org look better.

Hedman makes 1 3/4"x3" full length headers for 2wd big block dodges. I have a set on my truck. Other than a little work on the 3-5 pipes to clear the frame better they fit great.
Here is my parts hauler, 80 Ram 440 2wd. 13.40s @102.
Stuff I own
Self promotion
Things someone else said I claim as my own

nice ride ill be sure to post mine once i drag it home, but i looked at summit and of all of the truck headers listed none included 81, so i was just wondering is there was a mojor problem with fit, i was told something about the gas tank from another member, anyone know why that year (among others) isn't included?
