390?!? Straight pipes!?!? Passes Emissions?!!? WTH?
if you get it you'll need 456s or 488s unless they re-worked the gearing in the transmission
I couldnt tell if it was Auto or not.... but I guess you are the boss.Quote:

we need to make sure it is a real highboy too
i've researched these trucks a little
A highboy is the nickname given all ford , 3/4 ton , 4x4 trucks that had the transfer case mounted behind and attached to the transmission by a drive shaft , then you have separate drive shafts to both front and rear axles..............They were made from about 63 up thru mid-year 77-----then the transfer case was mounted right behind the transmission-----There is no such thing as a highboy bed-----to my knowledge----highboy is a reference to the drivetrain\axle\suspension and frame of any year 3/4 ton , 4x4 truck---what kind of bed or no bed is irrelevant to whether or not the truck is a "highboy"--------
You have been recruited for "Team: Buy-a-truck"Quote:

All I know is.... Oooo! big truck! me likey!
k.... headed to the house, Ill let you know what i hear.
ALL highboys have the distinctive front crossmember piece that is directly under the front bumper. It basically reinforces the spring shackle mounts and ties the front of the frame together.

I've noticed that since I've paid off a couple loans, and then the payments haven't been going out, that I have a crap-ton of extra money these days. I'm very fortunate to have worked my butt off to get to where I am.
opportunity looks a lot like hard work. Kelso told me that, but I had a hard time hearing it over all the screaming teen zombies.
