Old Hooker headers...any good?

[Pengineer1]

I'm visiting Portland OR and thanks to THIS GROUP I'd heard about Ram light truck junkyard near PDX... I wasn't yet looking for headers for my new to me 1986 Power Ram 50. I just finished a Weber Carb swap, (38 outlaw)

But yes, my original exhaust manifold was cracked in at least 3 places, so I knew someday I'd like to do something about it...

Does anybody know if the old Hooker headers were good for our old 2.6liter motors????????

My truck is still back in Colorado so I'm having to trust the guys at the Ram scrap yard that these ARE the right headers for a '86 2.6 liter???????

Any advice on what I should do to save these from rusting away any further????

I paid $40. Seemed like a fair deal to me...What do you guys think??????

Thanks in advance for any and all comments/ advice!!
