This is a fine example of a 1977 Ford F250 factory "Highboy" 4x4
original Survivor. In mid 77 Ford dropped the "Highboy" in favor of
the lower stance 78/79 style. The 77 Highboy's got the 351/400 engine
but still had divorced transfer case, and the slave cylinder power
steering. This one
features 100% original white
paint on a 100% rustfree body from California. The body and bed are
unbelievably straight for a 34 year old truck. This is probably the
straightest original paint Highboy I have ever had.
Even the underside of
the floor still has the original finish on it. You will notice some
roughness on the floors, they are chunks of mud. You will also
notice some dark spots in the door jambs, they are paint chipping off, not
rust. Finally you will notice some darkness in the bed floor. It
is oily residue, not rust. This truck is absolutely 100% rustfree,
period.
This truck driver good, but
the steering is a little tight. It has a strong 351, and a nice
shifting 4 speed. It has the divorced 205 transfer case. It also
has the heavy duty big hub front axle, the big disc brakes, and power
steering. The truck has nice 35" BFG's, Rancho 9000 shocks, nice
sounding Flowmaster duals, etc. The disc brakes stop straight, and
smooth, and the suspension is tight. It has a nice sounding AM/FM
radio in the stock location. Hop in pump the gas peddle twice, the choke sets, and she
fires right up.
The bottom line,
this is a nice clean unabused rustfree California survivor that I would hop
in and drive anywhere. These Highboys are the hottest trucks right
now, and 1977 is the most desirable year, this one won't last.
