Slick 60's

Any suggestions?
I know they make them 'cause my '69 460 longbed had headers but I can't find any for '65-'66 F100.

I guy at work brought me a set to try out but they are for '80-'85 models could have got them for 50 bucks too...new in the box.

Do you have a 2WD? If yes then you are looking for headers for a 73-79 F series with a 429/460. Those were the only years that the 429/460 was originally offered in a twin I-beam truck that is the same as a slick so that is how you will find them listed. Hawkrod.

Thanks for the info Hawkrod oh and yes I have 2WD.

Hedman makes a 1 3/4" headers that will fit. Hooker supercomps Part # 6811 are 1 7/8" long tubes and they will work too. I have them on mine. They are tight to get in but look and work great.

Sanderson Headers makes a great shorty header. Not a cheap header but I know first hand they work on a 64 with stright axle truck. They say they will work with the 460 from 1954 up f100.

Months ago? Try a couple years ago.
Those headers look good but the link no longer works for the site.

NVM, got the link working. You had those headers custom made, correct?

I have a '66 sb with a 429 and a '66 lb with a 460. I installed Sanderson coated headers in both and they are great. The only issue I had was that I've had to replace the collector gasket 3 times over 10 years on the 460. I have used 3 different manufactures' gaskets and the graphite crush gaskets seem to work best.

time flies by i guess,, here is the home page i would give them a call
