looking to buy a 73-76 highboy and need to learn....
all that I can about these. Such as what to look out for on these years, how to identify a factory highboy, how common were dana 60's under these, how common were autos put in these (I know weird i want an auto over a manual, I do rock crawling) anything else anyone is willing to share with me. Any good place to go to learn all this or is anyone willing to type it all out for me? Thanks
ps yes I did try and search for this but results were slim to none.

Take special care to look over the power assist steering system for leaks and worn parts. Many wear parts for that system are very hard to come by and bring big money when you do actually find them. As far as i know they never installed a dana 60 front axle, but thay all got dana 60s in the rear. Look for the later models with open knuckle d44s with an FE engine.

well to be clear I live here in Denver and...
while rock crawling out here can get extreme I wont be doing anything extreme. What I really mean is when I go camping or dirt biking in the mountains I like to use the areas less traveled by other folks. I currently have a 00' Cherokee on 30's with a 2 inch lift otherwise stock and that little rig has gotten me everywhere I have needed to go. Very surprised by how well it handles itself. So I think a highboy will more than fill my needs.
Thanks for the help guys!
