I guess you know by now highboys are 4wd trucks. I can see by the rear axle it is a 3/4 ton truck. You cannot convert this truck to a highboy standard as the highboys had narrowed frames, so it was standard to put the gas tank behind the seat. 2wd version of that year had regular size wider frames. You cannot put a 2wd gas tank into a true highboy frame. It is too wide. Nice video. Looks like a great company.

Glad the original bench seat will be used! They are so cool in both the old cars and trucks.

[@LegendaryCustoms]

Yes sir. The bench seat was a perfect thing to keep. Looked great. Thank you for watching.

[@brianburwell4353]

Looks like an F-150 with the coil springs up front and no brace across the front of the frame, the highboy also has the divorced transfer case, very clean indeed

[@LegendaryCustoms]

THANK YOU FOR WATCHING.

[@ronclaman156]

Hi boy was built on f350 frame As you with divorced transfer case. ..

[@Jimschrbr]

That's a 2 wheel drive truck. "Hi-boys", as the aftermarket refers to them, are all 4 wheel drive F-250's.

[@mattking3755]

I have a 77 f250 highboy and you are correct also has a narrow frame and divorce transfer case and a 4 inch factory lift 1977 was the last year of the highboy but ford never officially called it a highboy not sure where the name came from

[@pupdowg420]

I had a 77 f250 from the forest service and man, what a stalwart that truck was. Factory highway with galvanized inners and rockers. I wish I still had it. Modified 4oo was a piece of shit. But the t45 new process and transfer cass and axles were indestructible. If only ford had put in a decent motor.

[@LegendaryCustoms]

It's all about memories! Thank you for watching.

Hockey pucks, I haven't heard of people using them for automotive use in over 30 years. Back then they were used for body lifts. one puck would give you an inch of body lift, some people would even stack then up, to get up to 3 inches or more lift to fit bigger tires. It was a much cheaper alternative than buying an actual body lift.

[@jsh3234]

Great presentation.

[@andrewruhloff2046]

Just got a ‘77 250 supercab last weekend. Thanks for the video!

[@LegendaryCustoms]

Thanks for watching. We make the Videos to help people out with bits & pieces of how to......

[@raymeschuerer4223]

I would like to know what the frame was painted with. Ive herd good and bad thing about por15 and othe similarly products or should i just use a good primer and paint?

[@chucksgarage7165]

Old air products should be able to fix you up with R134 components for that truck.

[@raymeschuerer4223]

The 400 and 351m are hard to finde parts . Finding a a gas tank. The 4x4 trucks had them in the cab. The rear cross member makes it difficult to put in the rear of truck.

[@LegendaryCustoms]

You know your trucks. Thanks for watching our KZbin Channel.

[@offroad4x4nhlife45]

Lolol

[@robertschoonover6517]

2nd half of 77 was low boy no gas tank in cab was in back.

[@robertschoonover6517]

This is not a highboy it’s a 1977.5 lowboy. No gas tank in cab no divorced transfer case etc

[@brianeastman3547]

Mine was a 1979,it was a 4x4 with the NP 435 granny low gear transmission it had the old reliable 4.9 litre 300 cubic inch straight 6

[@LegendaryCustoms]

Excellent truck! And I bet you have a memory or two.... Thank you for watching our KZbin Channel! It's appreciated!

[@stevepearson6316]

That's what I thought, that it should be a 4×4

[@offroad4x4nhlife45]

Not a highboy since it's 2wd

[@pupdowg420]

Up in bc, hockey pucks were standard in body mounts. What could be better. Not just fords either. Jeeps chevys, your moms belvedere wagon.

[@LegendaryCustoms]

This was a first for us.

[@danielfiske9849]

Actually most dent sides are usually in decent shape. One really bad one's I've seen are from your neck of the woods. Cab corners etc. Are the norm.

[@LegendaryCustoms]

This one originated in California. It was a good one to start with.

[@mattking3755]

Not a highboy just a 2wd f250
