I recently purchased this '67 highboy, that according to the build sheet is about as stock as they come, including the original 240-6. I got rid of the 33 x 13.5R16.5's tires and rims that it came with as fast as I could. What you see in the pics are the Power King 9.00-16's on KH 6" x 16" rims that I epoxy primed and painted. Rims came out of a local yard and off a 1960 F-250. I added the cab lights as I had on my 1975 F-250 4x4. My intent is to leave it pretty much stock.

 

THAT is bad a$$! I love the wheels and tires! PERFECT for a 4x4. I want it!

 

Thats exactly how a highboy should look!

 

I like all the trim on my '67 but that highboy looks great without any

 

Looks like Springtime Yellow.

 

Usually I am not a big fan of the big, tall bumps, but I do like that truck. Looks purpose-built.

 

That bed is not the correct bed since it has the rear side lights. They were plain jane
As, I remember the 69-72 style have the lights their.

I need this truck in my life.

 

Thank you all for the compliments. I really look forward to getting some roadtime in with it.

Orich, I think you may be right as the build sheet says "left hand spare tire carrier" and I see no evidence of any mounting holes in my box. I also have the option of " left and right hand Western Mirrors".

 

It looks like yours has the HD 3500lb axle external lockout hubs on it..
Does it have drum brakes up front still? and Manual steering or any upgrades to that.?

Orich,


Yes, I have the 3500# front axle with external lockouts. No power brakes or power steering, which is exactly what I wanted. Someone added a steering stabilizer which I will probably leave on. This truck was very well taken care of. I added the cab lights, a relay kit for halogen headlights, new door seals, the rims and tires, and will put new knuckle seals on this weekend. I plan to leave it very stock but am really contemplating rebuilding the 240 as a 300. Oh yeah, I added the Airguide compass out of my Grampa's 75 Highboy. I have been waiting a long time to put that compass in a vehicle. I had it in my '38 Taylorcraft until now. I kind of like the thought or Gramp's helping steer my course.

 

X2 bada$$. I like that wheel tire combo too looks like it's ready to work.

 

One of the finest bump 4x4's I've seen so far. Truck is amazing looking and you hit the nail on the head with the rim/tire choice. Don't see many of these trucks that haven't been overly messed with now days. Welcome to the bumpside forum.

 

The Custom nameplate on the bedsides is from a 1970/72.

The red marker lamps are from a 1969 (from serial number F70,001) & 1970/72.

Since this truck does not have stainless steel windshield or any side mouldings, it's a Standard Cab. It should have a painted steel grille.

The outside mirrors & front bumper should be painted white. The step bumper is aftermarket.

The anodized aluminum grille was only installed in 1967 Custom Cabs & Rangers.
