Headers for '47 1 Ton

I'd like to fit Red's headers to my truck. Red's weren't sure if they'd fit, being designed for the PU. I think the steering box might be different so they won't fit. Can someone confirm?

Thanks

The F4-6 steering boxes are larger than the F1-3's. If you need I'll get you a measurement from the box to stock exhaust manifold on an F2. Compare it against your F4. Then I can get you a measurement from the strng box to red's headers on an F1. From that you should be able to tell if you have enough room.

That'll do the trick for sure, mtflat. I'd appreciate it if you'd go ahead and do that. Many thanks

Looking further mtflat, I don't think the measurements will help. Different trucks. But I can't see anything in my literature to indicate there's a difference in steering boxes between the pass, PU and commercial (1Ton) so i think I'll go ahead and order a pair. Red's said they'd take it back if there was a problem.

thanks again
