Header back Exhaust system

Does anyone know if there is a header back exhaust system kit available for a 65 F100 4x4? I see one on Jegs for the 2x rigs. It has installation notes that say it's for the 133" wheelbase but can be shortened for the others. Anyone tried to install this into a 4x4? It doesn't come with mufflers either.

I've read some bad reviews about the Hooker systems-mainly about bad clamps and hangers. I'd be willing to bet that by the time you get the mufflers you'd be pretty close to a good dual system from a shop with glass packs. I know not everyone is a fan of glass packs but I tend to like them.

I don't have any experience with the Hooker systems myself-that's a disclaimer that I may not know what in the heck I'm taking about with them. I have used their headers though and from those couple of experiences I generally stick to Hedman now.

I looked into this for a long time and finally put my money down on these: Stan's Headers - Standard Header Page - 40 years building standard and custom high performance header designs for automotive and marine engines.
These really are the best headers made for Old Ford trucks. "TRI-Y DESIGN" headers, the primary tubes are paired in a 4-into-2 and 2-into-l formation. This increases the cylinder scavenging effect and improves engine breathing by utilizing the exhaust velocity of one cylinder to help the exhaust velocity of another.
Call them and they well work with you to insure you get the correct headers.

Well I finally have these headers installed on my 1966 F100 4X4, would like to know if anyone has pictures of how you installed exhaust pipes. Driver side is looking to be a little bit of a challenge. If someone has been down this path would really appreciate input on do and don't list, on what you may have learned during install. Did you install crossover, where? I shall post pictures of mine when completed.
I wish I would have installed high torque starter and plan to paint frame with ultra high temp paint next time they are off. On passenger side comes really close to frame, expect some peeling paint.
