Shorty SS headers for highboy

I’ve done search.
Does anyone have link or info for what shorty ss headers on eBay will work. Their not real specific.
Dont need long tubes ect. I have other autos for fast or power.
This is just to hunt /fish puts around in.
Thanks in advance.

the highboys frame was a carryover f350 frame from bump sides that ford used for the 250's rather than waste. in 77 fords stopped and went to a universal frame. the divorced transfer case in the f250's driveshaft angle needed them to sit higher, therefore needing a taller block in the rear to compensate for the higher front end. any divorced case dent side is a highboy so its a generic term. the 1-ton frame was narrower for commercial applications requiring a narrowed frame for better compatibility. it was beefier. later trucks went to a married case and lowered hight.


to see if any header fits check its part number and see if its the same for the 67 -72 f350's with the same engine. that's all that the frames were.

Curious also, my long tubes on the drivers side were a pain to install, curious to see where these sit for exit...
