Something you can do to help them last is remove that crap factory paint (sandblast is best) and paint them with some good high temp paint....a couple of good coats. I use "Stove Bright" brand paint on mine. You should have some wood/pellet stove stores down there, they should have it.....it comes in colors besides black too. Seems like Lowes of HD carries it too.

I thought I had some better pics of the 292 power steering pump mount that I did, but this is all I've got. I guess this one is better than nothing?

The guy welded the part ($20). The weld looks good I just need to grind on it alittle. Can't believe how hard it is to find that part. I looked at other painted headers they were all the same thickness of metal. The flange on the flowtec's was accually thicker. I think I will paint them with some better paint though. Thanks for the pic Capt. once I get my intake I'll see if I can make the power steering thing work. I've got a set of painted headers on my f@rd they were Hookers I never painted them or anything, going on 4 years. The paint on them lasted about an hour.They are butt ugly but so is the truck.:lol: Paid 5,000 in 85 and still going strong. Everyday rusted work truck. I've never had a truck or car payment my whole life. To bad its a F2rd. When I go to the ford forums I talk it up though.:lol:

It's my parents place, I built the barn and their house. They let me use the place like it's mine. I'm the only kid so I don't have anyone else trying to get there share.:lol:

$65 - $75 in that condition here in SoCal. About $95 - $105 for a PepBoys rebuilt (with core) and their quality is generally edgy. Might check Ebay.
