65-76 Ford 2WD 1/2T P/U Headers

The Hedman 65-76 Ford 2WD 1/2-ton Pickup Headers (Part No. 89100) deliver optimized exhaust scavenging for classic Ford FE-series engines in full-size trucks from the mid-1960s through mid-1970s. These street-tuned headers replace restrictive OEM cast-iron manifolds with a carefully engineered primary and collector design that reduces back-pressure and improves volumetric efficiency across the RPM range.

Each header features 1.75-inch primary tubes that transition into a 3-inch collector, sized to balance flow characteristics for street applications where responsive mid-range torque matters as much as peak power. The steel construction is finished in black paint for heat resistance and corrosion protection in engine bays exposed to moisture and temperature cycling. Installation is straightforward—gaskets and mounting hardware are included—making these compatible with standard 1965-76 Ford fullsize truck platforms without frame or body modifications. The pair weighs 32.9 lbs total, a reasonable trade-off for the durability and thermal stability of steel versus lighter alternatives.

These headers suit owners restoring or upgrading classic Ford trucks who want measurable performance gains without radical engine modifications. They're engineered for the FE-series block family (427, 428, 390, 360 cubic inch variants) commonly found in full-size pickups of this era. Street tuning prioritizes driveability and longevity, making Hedman headers a practical choice for weekend cruising, show trucks, and daily-driven restorations where reliability and ease of installation are as important as performance.
