1976 Ford F-250 Ranger Highboy! RESCUED!

[@OldMiner-wj6rr]

I bought a new 1976 highboy F250 new in Delta Colorado for $5250.00. It was a great truck! I installed a 390 in 1981 that was in the La Sal Utah trash dump, and really loved it! So much more power!

[@CarsShopsAndCollections]

Sounds like a great truck! I appreciate you watching!!!

[@dalezegarelli5553]

Great color. Ford, Lincoln, Mercury had that brown exterior color. Such a classy/classic look. We had a 1975 mercury marquis woodie station wagon. Brown with high back bench seats. Cadillac of all station wagons. Ah ..all the memories. Wouldn't want to go back. But; the memories are wonderful.

[@CarsShopsAndCollections]

Wow! You trigger a memory for me… my parents had a brown Ford LTD!

[@dalezegarelli5553]

@@CarsShopsAndCollections bet it was awesome. Maxed out LTD'S WERE AWESOME. PLUS...A 460 4BBL.

Hi boy is a divorced case with a Dana 44 low pinion and a 60 in the rear. Really wish they came with a 60 front, that would be the best truck ever

[@billramsey7455]

5.9 Cummins swap 😊 That truck is AWESOME brother.

[@jimorcutt1611]

Actually wasn't factory lift. It was a standard size F250 4x4 for the era. They sat 2.38 inches higher than the 77.5 to79. Theyvsat higher because they had a narrow frame and needed a divorce transfer case

[@ashleewatson2433]

So cool! Can’t wait to see it on the road

[@CarsShopsAndCollections]

Same! It's going to look so good!

[@claudemessier1278]

Had my 76 F-250 custom for 29 and half years bullet proof workhorse . Wish I could have kept it.

[@1BOOMTRON1]

Can’t wait for all of the offers to help to come pouring in!

[@CarsShopsAndCollections]

[@nickcox4343]

Hey buddy. Do you know what rims and tires those are? Sizing and brands please. Love the truck.

[@CarsShopsAndCollections]

@@nickcox4343 I spoke to Larry... He said The tires are Milestar Patagonia 37X17. Wheels are Black Rhino 17"

[@melissaperry4955]

I have an orange 1976 F250 High Boy. The body has a lot of rust but I like how it looks. I want learn about working on it. My husbands work friend has done some repairs on it.

[@CarsShopsAndCollections]

The color sounds cool.. A truck with some character!

[@officialmallcrawler]

Man sweet rig. I'd say keep the patina.

[@CarsShopsAndCollections]

Yes… it’s done! Update coming soon!!

[@officialmallcrawler]

@@CarsShopsAndCollections Awesome. I look forward to seeing it.

[@brandonbohannon3421]

Is there a progress video on this truck?

[@CarsShopsAndCollections]

I need to do one!

[@matthewkeiser7969]

76 F250 4x4's came from Ford with a Dana 60 rear axle and a low pinion, ball joint Dana 44 front axle. Ford did not call them "Highboys"... that's a term that developed in the aftermarket.

[@wbreese9903]

I agree, but this one appears to have a Dana 60 in front...??

[@Camaron9769]

yeah but a dana 60 front will plug right in so will a dana 70 rear.... idk about the rear being a 70 just by looking at it but that def looks to be a front 60

[@Teeny686]

Isn't it a dana 60 rear dana 44 front?

[@matthewkeiser7969]

SMH... Ford never called them Highboys. That's a term that came from the aftermarket. And no, those trucks came with Dana 60 rear axles and Dana 44 front axles. Come on guys.

[@frankcox748]

​@@matthewkeiser7969I know this is old but, isn't that what he said.😂

[@joegonzalez8075]

How does someone get the full information on the vehicle when it was first sold,

[@CarsShopsAndCollections]

We got a lot of the information from the Marti Report!

[@joegonzalez8075]

thank you so much

[@dewayneleek4588]

Id restored all but the outside i like the color and wore down look,,would of liked a 4 speed instead tho

[@CarsShopsAndCollections]

It’s close to being done! Update coming soon!

[@jeremiahleemcgillicuddy8525]

It's not really a ranger package not like people from the '80s think. But but but but but it might have tilt-wheel!! push forward on the directional stick while gently trying to move the steering wheel upwards or downwards..

[@chrisnevergrowold330]

Great looking truck! Mine is a '73

[@CarsShopsAndCollections]

This one is almost done.. follow up video coming soon!

[@jeremiahleemcgillicuddy8525]

you trying to pull the tailgate handle up you should pull it sideways.

[@nickcox4343]

Those wheels and tires are cool. Anyone know what they are as well as sizing of tires please?

[@alexanderjones6383]

I wish I could have found one of these thrifty pickups.

[@CarsShopsAndCollections]

Yeah... He hit the jackpot!

[@scottbarrett263]

Your wrong,1 year of them 76 regular 250 and 250 highboy came factory from ford

[@old4wd]

Factory lifted? This guy has no idea what he's talking about

[@voodootrucker]

Man i would love a project like that, except for the wiring!

[@CarsShopsAndCollections]

The wiring his going to be the big issue! We have some updates coming soon! Thanks for watching!
