Headers onn F500?

Anyone have headers on their trucks (F500/F600 etc) with the larger steering boxes? Which headers? Any fitment issues?

Thanks in advance.

Long tube headers will not fit as the trans cross member is thicker/taller than a f100

shorty headers will not clear the 90 degree angle canister oil filter. To use the shorty you will need to convert to a spin on filter to do away with the 90 adapter.
ram horns should clear but makes it a bear to change the filter unless you convert to a spin on

This is great. I do have the spin-on oil adapter. I bought the shorties from Speedway. I'll get them on this spring. I certainly don't care for performance upgrades to my F500 but they should make that 272 really purr. Appreciate the knowledge!
