65-89 6cyl Ford P/U 2wd

The 65-89 6cyl Ford P/U 2wd headers from HEDMAN deliver a direct path for exhaust gas scavenging on light-duty Ford pickup trucks equipped with inline six-cylinder engines. These headers are engineered for owners seeking improved engine breathing, faster exhaust evacuation, and measurable gains in both horsepower and torque on vehicles that have relied on restrictive OEM cast-iron manifolds for decades. Whether you're running a stock engine or modest bolt-on modifications, upgrading to quality headers is one of the highest-return bolt-on modifications available for vintage Ford trucks.

HEDMAN headers use mandrel-bent primary tubes sized specifically for the Ford 200/250 cubic-inch six-cylinder powerband, ensuring optimal scavenging velocity and exhaust gas flow characteristics across the RPM range. The tuned tube lengths and collector design minimize backpressure while preserving low-end torque delivery—critical for trucks that must haul loads and tow trailers. Constructed from high-quality steel with ceramic or polished finishes available, these headers resist rust and thermal stress far better than original manifolds, and the bolt-on design requires no welding or permanent modifications to your truck's engine bay.

Restoration enthusiasts, weekend warriors, and truck owners running 2WD configurations from 1965 through 1989 will appreciate the straightforward installation and immediate throttle response improvement. The headers are compatible with both manual and automatic transmissions and integrate cleanly with factory exhaust routing on two-wheel-drive trucks; verify clearance with your specific cab and bed combination before purchase. Pair these with a quality exhaust system and carburetor tuning for maximum efficiency gains.
