Now it’s no secret that there are many different types of headers being produced to fit the Ford Flathead, but many off the shelf headers don’t always fit your exact application. Take the 1948-1952 F-1 steering box for example. This option means that most of the basic header kits won’t work with your truck. So what now?
For us here at the Flat-Spot one of the best sources for no nonsense headers come from the legendary Red’s Headers in Thousand Palms California. The guys over at Red’s not only know what your Flathead needs, but they also have some of the best ceramic coated headers we have ever used. That’s right! We put our money where our mouth is and are using a pair of coated Red’s Headers on the 1948 F-1 Flat-Spot Pickup project. They were a bolt on set, that jogged around the steering box in a clean and very classy way. We will be returning to get another set for the Flat-Spot display motor as we get that build underway in the new year. The headers in the truck are close to 10 years old now and they look as good as the day I ordered them. Which says a great deal about the quality of their products. So, whether you’re looking for a set of headers for your 1932 Ford with a F-1 Steering box or something as simple as an 8ba in a 1949 Merc, Reds headers can hook you up with some of the best-looking headers on the market.
I should also say that Red’s carries a full selection of
Flathead Ford Parts and accessories. I have it on good authority from our
members that their customer service is top notch. They will honestly take the
time to talk you through what parts you need. I have also heard more than once
that they are also good with teaching you what parts might work better for your
build. Saving you a ton of headache down the road.
We don’t hear that much in a world where you basically must wrestle away the
computer from the fools at Auto-zone. The same teen age clowns who think
Blinker Fluid is a real thing. Or require a type of transmission, when asking
for a fan belt.
There is none of that at Red’s!! So, give the guys over at Red’s Headers a ring
and see what they can do for your project.
