Contact Tom at PPH -- 714-639-5220, they will sell you the
gaskets/bolts.
They use Bison gaskets, and last the longest. Keep your headers tight,
and double nut your collector gaskets to help keep them tight.

Mopar part# P4876102. They stink when they burn in but they work well.
I
think they're $20 or so a pair.
If you are going to change them I would let the truck cool down the
night
before. Spray some PB Blaster on the bolts so it sits overnight. The
bolts
should come out easier that way the next morning. The hard part is
getting the
header out far enough to scrape off the old gasket, you might have to
loosen the
y-pipe to do that. No need to add any sealant with those gaskets.
