I hear 'ya. There a good chance that Bill Thomas Race Cars, Douglas as well as Stahl also made some of the headers for Chevrolet. When I worked in the parts dept. of our local Chevy dealer in 1972, there was a set of these GM part numbered Z-28 headers stuck way up on top of one of the parts bins. They were wired together along with a heavy manilla envelope that contained the header bolts, gaskets, and two sets of instructions....one from Chevrolet and the other from Kustom Headers.

Here's an link that provides some interesting history.
