Headers, 400, 4x4, inside frame rails
Are there really no headers that fit an F250 4x4 with a 400 that fit inside the frame rails? I have only been able to find custom shops so for and they start at a grand! Does anyone know of any? Headman, Hooker, Stan's Headers (does not have any and needs the Truck to make custom ones). I do not want shorty ones.

Heres the problem with headers for your truck.........351M/400's only were introduced to 4x4's in 1977 for the last half year production of the Highboy, then came the 77-1/2, 78 and 79 F250 Lowboys, then the changed over 1980 F-series.......If your F250 4x4 is a Highboy, its a half year production only, hardly worthy of production......even assuming you have a lowboy, it was only 2-1/2 years in production......Companies typically wait a while before re-tooling for a new model, and Ford made a lot of changes during this time. During the 70's Ford went from FE to 335 Series and 385 Series engines, changed either body style or chassis multiple times. during this time frame GM kept the same frame, body style and engine families from 1973 til 1987, and Dodge kept most stuff the same from 1972-1993.

Here is my old 4x4 79 F250 351M 4 spd with some cheap ol Hedmans, easy to install.
I have run the quick and easy header muffler route, the straights that are loud and then the straight stacks for obnoxious loud....
Out side the frame is the way to go IMO, a # of way easy ways to finish up your exhaust, mufflers and turn downs in front of the back tires ??

What do you think of these?

Should I get them coated or get the cheap ones that are painted and then ship them off to Jet Hot for a real coating?

I have the summit racing headers on my 77 2wd. Summit catalog says 4wd I believe, but with a ball peen hammer and torch, they fit. The driver side was the hardest.Passenger side just took gentle persuasion.
