What Headers to use

I'v got a 78 custom F250 w/400 4speed Dana 44 front looking at tires around 36's or 38's 12.5 to 14.5 setting it up for mudding
and trail riding wounting to put headers on it. What's the best route to go
Through fender well or inside frame rail
Thanks

If you have the clearance go with fenderwell exit, they're much less of a hassle.

There are a lot to choose from, I had a set of hedmans and they were nice. L&L might be building a set now, I don't think they used to though, might have to check. I believe hooker also builds some.

Hookers yes, but they exit right into the same plane that the x member occupies. (77 F150) By memory I believe it was about five inches ahead of it. I remember building under it. kinda a pain. An exhaust pro could do it in his sleep.
