I'm still amazed your insurance went this route.
NOW is the perfect time to install headers!!!

Stainless Steel. MMC sells them. You can just as easily and much more cheaply use brass or the OEM plastic but I figured this was a small price to pay for a solution that will outlast the truck.
I'm in for a group buy if it happens this month. I'm about to go in and replace a bunch of stuff for preventative maintenance and the "T's" are on the list. I have to have it all back together by 8/8, so I'll order separately from the supplier if a group buy doesn't go fairly soon.
Now that is a great upgrade!
Jon, to keep your thread on track, I'll throw this link about the stainless T's.

Hey Jon, how's your truck doing all these many months later?
The truck is doing great. I think the fact that they replaced most of the body-frame bushings as well as all of the various plastic clips etc. has contributed to that success. I have not discovered any gremlins or other issues relating to the frame swap.
What was the final cost of doing all of that, including insurance and out of pocket? Glad to hear it's all working out well for you!
In a sense, you have one of the freshest 100's out there. Especially as swapping out drivetrains is overwhelmingly more common and as you pointed out on a repair that most 100's would be totalled out for. When combined with year, modifications, et al, it could be said you have perhaps the nicest 100 out there.
