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!

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.

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

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

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 Жыл бұрын
I agree, but this one appears to have a Dana 60 in front...??
@Camaron976911 ай бұрын
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

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.
