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

The Hedman 65-76 Ford 2WD 1/2-ton Pickup Headers are purpose-built exhaust manifold replacements designed for early Ford truck enthusiasts who demand better engine breathing and performance. These headers are ideal for classic Ford half-ton pickups from the mid-1960s through mid-1970s, helping to unlock horsepower that is often restricted by factory cast iron manifolds.

Engineered specifically for 2WD applications, these headers feature mandrel-bent primary tubes that maintain consistent diameter throughout their length, which helps to eliminate turbulent flow zones. The stepped-tube design enhances the transition from smaller primaries at the head ports to larger collector sections, maximizing exhaust scavenging across the RPM range. Constructed from heavy-gauge steel and finished with a ceramic coating, these headers are designed to withstand underhood heat while reducing exhaust backpressure.

Mechanics and hot rodders restoring 1965-1976 Ford F-100, F-250, and similar models will find these headers beneficial for their performance upgrades. The compact collector design ensures clearance for the original transmission tunnel, making integration straightforward for restorations and modified street trucks without extensive engine bay rework.
