i was looking at an ad for a 73 f250 Tall Boy. whats a Tall Boy?

 

Its what they called the 4x4's back then. I dont think there's anything special about it... correct me if I'm wrong. You can ask in the forum for that eraa truck or search if nobody here is sure.

 

Hi boy is what the trucks were called. Tall boy is a 16 or 24 oz beer.

 

It is not a tall boy. it is a HIGH BOY. It is a factory lift. 77 was the last year for them and it was a F250 thing ONLY. The frames are narrower than a standard pick up. But if you ask the is question in the 73-79 section, you will get better answers

 

double,delete

 

^^^yup,I read this and started getting thirsty!!

 

LOL! It's 110 F. here, Tall Boy sounds mouth-watering now after reading this!!!

 

well im glad my misunderstanding made everybody wanna have a cold one! lol

 

I used to have a 77 high boy crew cab, One of my long lost friend asked me the other day if I still had the HIGH HORSE...LOL He was mistaken on the name also

 

High boy is a generic name (Ford never called it that). Since you say it is a 73, if it is a F250, then yes it is a "high boy" the factory lift is about +-4".
You should really check out the 73-79 forum here.

Btw: a high boy can be anything from a '62ish-'77.5 F250.

 

i already thre some back and feel better, still hot out tho
