Headers for early '77 F150?
Hi all,
I want headers for my '77 F150 with the 351M and C-6. Heddman say theirs won't fit because mine is an early '77 (built April '77) and there was a chassis change in June '77.
I talked to Hooker and they say theirs will fit mine because the chassis change only affected F250 and up (they called it 'low-boy' vs 'high-boy').
So now I'm confused. Seems to me either Heddman or Hooker is wrong.
Can someone clear this up for me?
Rob.

Heddman is wrong, Hooker is right.
The mid year change only affected the F250. Prior to April of '77 the F250's were known as high boys. This is simply because they sat higher from the factory. This also only pertains to the 4x4's.
After April of '77, the F250's were "lowered" to the same ride height as the F150's, hence the low boy.
When you order headers, be sure to tell them if you have an auto or manual. Sometimes this matters. Also tell them if you have a 4x4 or a 4x2.

Thanks for the info!
It's annoying when a company doesn't know enough about the trucks to give you the proper info.
Hedman should realize that if I have a F150 2WD then I don't need to worry about the chassis differences mid-year! Geez ..
Well I think I will give my business to Hooker (Holley) anyway because they have a ceramic-coated option.

I'm in Canada as well, so our prices will be the same.... Maybe they'll give us a deal if we order 2 sets??

Nice idea but I doubt anyone will give us a deal for ordering 2 sets .. 100 or even 10 .. maybe.
Anyway, I'm not ready to order yet .. need to spend some money on stopping rain from getting into my cab and on getting my worn-out steering in shape!
Whereabouts in Canada are you? I'm in Lucan, ON.
