Headers

This is just a why not question. I have a 1969 F-250 Ranger, Camper Special. It had the tipical exhaust leaks when I got it. So I thought I would put headers on it when fixing. I bought a set from someone on Craigs list. They were the right ones for my year and motor but not for camper special (box not marked except). Why is that? just curious!

because a camper special is not anything special in the engine department.

The camper S has a rear sway bar that some posters in the past, have posted having problems

clearing them ! But the ones with a front mounted sway bar, has no problems fitting those trucks !



P.S. when I say ( REAR ) I am posting about the front sway bar that mounts behind the front crossmember ,it hooks to the radius arms .

You are correct

That is the problem the collector on most headers hits right smack into the stock sway bar. THX David

i had to move the motor mount for it so clear the one side only way to do without bending your headers
