Looking for Chrome Header....

I have my Pop's 1979, f-150, with the straight 6 300cid, out of a 1985. I'd like to find a chrome header for it, and then go with side pipes. Anyone know a website I can look at? Perused several and watching ebay. NOT having a lot of luck. Figured I'd try here.

Peace!

Thanks in advance!

Get the ceramic coated pipes. They are MUCH better than chrome. Ceramic is what they use on all the new hotrods etc.

I agree, the chrome will just turn blue before burning off. GO CERAMIC!

When you change to a header....what do you do with the EGR Tube that attaches to the stock exhaust manifold?

I've seen the ceramic. I just enjoy the look of chrome better, myself. But, not having much luck finding anything. And the couple of things I have seen, have been WAY expensive. lol. I wouldn't mind a USED piece at all, really. I did check out the clifford website, and they didn't have it either. Been watching ebay, but, no luck there either so far. This is a very ameteur project. lol. I am NOT very mechanical myself, but a friend who is, is tutoring me. The major project is going to be the body work. The floorpans have rotted out, I think because of a leak in the cowling. After perusing several websites, it looks like I can't replace the cowling without removing the entire CAB assembly. oi. It's going to be bits and pieces over a long time. But at least it's getting done.

Peace!

Better yet, Jethot will sell you a set of brand name headers for a variety of Ford trucks with their coating already applied. Check out the following link:

Jethot coated headers for Ford trucks

They do headers for other vehicles, too, of course, but we're only interested in the Ford trucks here, right?
