Yes the Vortec truck motors use SA rockers.
But, when you buy the heads the rockers are not included.

so I can get them with the rockers
Throw the stock rockers in the trash where they belong like any other stock rubber ones, and get something that reliably connects the valves to the cam.

Stock rockers can't handle stock cams. They are garbage.
Their "theoretical" ratoi is 1.5. Rarely do you ever find one that measures more than 1.45, even sitting still. Most are around 1.42-1.43, and some are as low as 1.38. And that's just while they're sitting still!!! Put some force on tehm, and trhey bend.
I wish I could post a movie of watching them operate under a strobe light.... you can literally watch them bend.
