1975 f250 Highboy Restoration part 1

My 1975 F250 Highboy that me and my son have been restoring over the last year and a half. It is a California truck that I found on craigslist. it was buried in the middle of a field. Trees had grown up around it and it hadn't been touched in over twenty years. We took it hope thinking it would be a simple job but.... man was I wrong. Rats had built nests, ate through all of the wiring, and destroyed just about everything that wasn't metal. It took a lot of time just to clean it all out. After the mess was cleared it was time to start on the actual truck restoration. We tore it all apart and replaced/restored every single nut and bolt. It took a lot of time patients and money but it is well worth it. Please like, comment and share! Hope you enjoy.

I like the way you painted the front inner fender wells to look like the original galvanized. Most every restoration I see they always paint them black.

[@user-ky6qn3qg6m]

Awesome job, theres always way more to do than you think lol

[@vinman1029]

Someone tell me differently, I thought all hiboys had a divorved transferase. i know mine did.

[@johnpirie2583]

Very nice ride 👍. I give you full permission to build me one

[@martinneps9387]

Do you still have this truck and how long did it take for you to do this please comment back thank you for this video it came out beautiful

[@jrd2475]

where did you get the steering column I've looked for one with column shift and cannot find them

[@daviddunbar6998]

Very nice truck. Where did you get the tank?

[@welivejeep3054]

Dang, that motor is tight! What kind of cam did you have in there? I'm guessing that's a 460 as well?

[@greggarvin5345]

Yes its a 460 with a COMP Cams Thumpr Hydraulic Roller Cam and Lifter Kits CL34-601-9

[@lexiedetienne840]

my boy friend is working on his 1975 f-250 and is having wiring problems. The starter wont disengage, and moving the shifter engages it. What do you think he should do?

[@nicholasmarino17]

Lexie DeTienne did he look into replacing the starter solenoid. Quick fix if that is indeed the problem. Normally $20 at any local parts store. For future reference LMC truck had great detailed catalogs full of parts for your truck,

[@Ken19700]

Overall it's an awesome truck but I can't help but think that the transmission and transfer case need a divorce.

[@ramrodskip518_7]

What is the name of that color?

[@raybazzolo2346]

True Highboy's should have divorced transfer cases

[@noahtaylor3148]

Did the truck come with ac from factory?

[@billymaze1728]

No you had vents on the floor boards that you would open or roll down the winders

[@greggarvin5345]

No I looked all around for a new Ac kits and found that Nostalgic AC was the way to gonostalgicac.com/complete-ac-kits/ford-complete-kits/ford-ac-kits-for-trucks/1973-1979-f-series-truck-heat-a-c-defrost.html

[@biggrantlewis]

[@greggarvin5345]

American Racing ATX Artillery

Greg Garvin REAL quick Facebook messenger!!

[@99snubby]

Why the married transfer case? 73-77 were divorced from the factory.

[@greggarvin5345]

1 less driveline and better transfer of power the truck had a 4speed and a np203.. I like the C6 and Np205 much better

[@mattrobertson8265]

less parts the better

[@nicholasbrown6481]

That is definitely not a high boy. "High boys" had a divorced Transfer case

[@gregg6448]

No it did not I put nostalgic air in it which was a lot better than Vintage Air because you could use original controls and vents

[@psyborg1217]

Greg G, I am thinking about putting the same in my 77 - any advice on cutting into the dash for the vents? thats the only part that has me nervous.

[@greggarvin5345]

the vents they send with the kit are not the same size as the original ones so if you have to replace one your kind of SOL. I went with a set from Lmc.

[@austinlushbaugh5511]

Sorry but that truck doesn’t deserve the highboy name... doesn’t have a divorced T-Case from the looks of it 🤷‍♀️

[@nonyabusiness4409]

great video...music sucked ass though, I had to mute that crap!

[@billymaze1728]

Why and the hell are u hating on that music it's better than the crap they are making to day

[@nonyabusiness4409]

Hunt fish And dirtbike channel I'm an 80s child.. I listen to 80s music. I'm not hating, I just dislike country. Its too bloody boring! But to each their own...am I right?
