1977 Ford F250 factory "Highboy"
4x4. The 77 is a rare and unique year. It's not only
the last year for the "Highboy" suspension, but it's the most desirable
year. 77 was the first year for the Cleveland engine family. Another reason the 77's are so
desirable is that it is the only year Highboy that a 460 will drop right in.
Enough trivia, back to this truck.
This is a solid example of a 1977 Highboy. It is 98% RUSTFREE from
California. It has a 351 engine with a 4 speed manual transmission.
It has 4.10 axles with a Dana 60 rear. It also has the HD 205 transfer
case, and the big hub front end. Other options include: power
steering, and power disc brakes.
This truck also has two
auxiliary fuel tanks that are filled from inside the rear wheel wells.
This 4x4 runs and drives, but needs a good once over, before being put back
into daily service. This truck has a nice proud stance.
This High Boy has spent
it's entire life in CA but it does have some rust in a couple of spots.
The rust is from trapped moisture not salt. The worst area is in the
drivers floor. It had soggy jute padding under the factory rubber
floor mat. Even in CA if one lets water sit long enough rust will
form. I will include pictures of the rust. Keep in mind this is
still a very solid CA 4x4. It it was 100% rustfree the price would be
$7950.00. Fix the few rust spots and keep the truck out of the salt
and it will last forever.
