fast67 Welcome to FTE 
The best truck show on the net.
You will have to look to the late 70s year models for your headers. The 460 was not offered in 67 for the pickup, so you will not find any available for that year.

The headers will fit. Check in my "Red Ranger" gallery. Headers don't give you more power. They allow your motor to be less restricted. Mine are made out of metal so they feel pretty strong.

I had a set of headers on a pickup, and I regret every minute of it. They belong on race cars, not daily drivers, in my opinion. I spend zero time maintaining my cast iron manifolds, and they don't leak. Ever.
'Nuff said.

no probs
My Hookers have been on my '72 for almost 9 yrs now. They are installed on the newly rebuilt 390. Never have had to do anything with them, except for re-install. I think the secret of a good install is premium gaskets, torque the bolts in the right way, and some juice on the bolts if you ever have to remove them. Wish i could find a coated set. One thing I did notice when i installed these with a K&N filter, was that I could pull my boat up the hill in 4th, before I had to downshift.

I always use dead-soft copper or aluminum gaskets, and have never had a problem. I would look for headers that have ball flanges on them, they seal much better than the flat gasketed flange, plus they flex. If you want to keep underhood temps down, paint the headers with the 1200* paint they sell at schucks. Spray about half a can down each runner, and paint the outside too. On stainless headers, just do the inside and they won't turn blue.

Wrap headers?
I just purchased a small block ford engine and it has headers, they appear to be chrome? I never thought about under the hood temps till i read these posts, what kind of wrap are you speaking of? Is the under the hood temp a problem with my 1968 f-100, it seems to have enough grill to allow air flow.
