Exclamation 79 4wd 460 headers?

does anybody know where you can get a set of headers to fit a 1979 1 ton 4X4 with a stick for a reasonable price?

ebay, L&L makes fenderwell exit, but they tend to be a bit pricey. Good Luck.

I have been looking *everywhere* for these guys. Hooker used to make a set, but they are no longer being made. The hookers also fit the Class C motorhime built on a Ford chaisis. I am going to try the Hedman headers that fit the Class C motorhome with a 460. I am ordering on line and if they don't fit, I get to send them back. I have also considered a pair of block huggers or shorty headers for the application.

If I were close enough I would drive to South San Francisco and have Sanderson take a look about building me a set.

Let's keep each other informed about our progress.

Contact me via my email.

I have a 78 E250 Pathfinder conversion.

I went over to the muffler guy today and he said he *thinks* the hedman will work. I am still concerned where the tube on the drivers side will come out. Afterall, the front driveshaft is right there.

This is on a 78 E250 460.

Thanks for the reply, I sent Stan an email. Hopefully he can answer my questions, plus, I will be in Seattle next week. I can go pay him a visit.

I just talked Phil at Stan's. He does not think the headers he makes will fit the 4x4 van.

If anyone in the Seattle area would like to take their 78 Quadravan with a 460 in by there and let him measure to make sure I would really appreciate it.

email me and we can discuss it.

i'm not sure about the reputation, but Dynomax makes headers for those trucks, has a lifetime warranty, and they sound great on my truck. $150.-$200.
