Hey guys I was cruising the web today and some of the parts I want are for a 77 or 77.5 how can I tell wich I have?
'77 (highboy)
divorced transfer case
three drive shafts
in-cab fuel tank
crossmember under front bumper
5-7 leaves in front spring pack
4" blocks in rear
'77.5 (lowboy)
married transfer case
two drive shafts
no in-cab fuel tank
no crossmember under front bumper
2-3 leaves in front spring pack
3" blocks in rear
I know they say the cutoff was 20,000 for the vin, mine however, is 22,000 with all the highboy items. I even found the vin on the frame to verify cabs were not switched at some point. maybe I have the last true Highboy made.
maybe that should be a new thread here. What is the highest VIn for a 77 Highboy. I'll post mine tonight when I get home.
I like that idea, very much.
It causes a lot of confusion when a new guy posts up here with what he claims is a post '77.5 highboy, e.g. serial # Z21,901 and we say no, Y20,001 is the cut-off.
There's been a few guys on here with legitimate highboys, post Y20,001
