Headers?
I am new to these forums and I had a question about my 1973 F-350 Super Camper with the 460 and C6 transmission. I am not sure if it is any different from the 1973 F350 Camper Special other than they changed the name halfway through the model year. Anyways I was wondering if anyone knows of headers that will for sure fit this vehicle because the manifolds are cracked and instead of replacing them with another set of manifolds I was just going to put on headers? The problem with just standard headers is that there is a cross-member, motor-mount, and anti-sway bar that are all in the way. So if anyone knows what will work great, if not then I will just have them custom made.

Ford didn't put the 460 into out trucks in 73, so if you have a 460, it's been swapped-in.
I'd guess standard 460 headers wouldn't fit, but I really don't know. However, one of the great things about FTE is somebody will be here soon with a definite answer! Hang in there...
And if you get a chance, post some pictures-we love pictures!

I have used Hedman Elite headers on numerous '65-'79 2wd /460 trucks. Never had a clearance issue of any sort. I will say all the rigs had C-6 transmissions, none had a manual trans.
All the trucks I have installed the headers on used the factory 3 piece engine mounts (frame stands, insulators and engine cups), with the engine mounted in "stock" locations. Can't vouch for header fitment on any other mountings.
Hope this helps.
