Sanderson is the only header manu I could find still making shorty's for squarebodies.

Patriot and, I think, Doug's Headers make a universal shorty header that might work, but those aren't any cheaper than the Sanderson's.

You could always cut the long tubes and shorten them up, if you can weld. An exhaust shop will cut and shorten them as well to whatever you want, or at least they will here. The other option would be make your own and then you can get whatever you want out of them.

I'm running Patriot PTE-H8012 Headers for a 71 Chevelle. Fit perfect and they are mid length.
