70-76 4wd 1/2t Bb P/U

The Hedman 70–76 4WD 1/2-ton Pickup Headers (SKU HED89180) are a purpose-built exhaust solution engineered specifically for first-generation Ford F-Series trucks with the classic FE-series engine platform. This pair of headers combines proven collector design with street-friendly performance tuning, delivering improved exhaust scavenging and thermal management for vintage and restomod applications. The 1.75-inch primary tubes merge into a 3-inch collector, optimizing flow characteristics across the RPM range typical of modified FE-series powerplants.

These headers are manufactured from steel and finished in durable black paint, designed to withstand underhood heat cycles while maintaining a clean, period-correct appearance. The 1.75-inch primary diameter provides a balance between scavenging efficiency and backpressure, while the 3-inch collector simplifies transition to modern exhaust systems. Gaskets and mounting hardware are included, streamlining installation on 1970–1976 Ford fullsize truck frames. At 37.23 pounds, the complete pair represents the mass typical of quality street headers, with dimensions of 18 x 10 x 39 inches accommodating standard engine bay layouts of the era.

This product targets restoration builders and performance enthusiasts upgrading original exhaust systems on 1970–1976 Ford 4WD half-ton pickups. Whether restoring a factory truck or building a restomod platform, these headers provide the exhaust foundation needed for reliable starting, improved throttle response, and cleaner engine bay aesthetics. The FE-series compatibility—spanning 390, 427, and 428 big-block applications—makes this a versatile choice across the first-gen F-Series lineup.
