Son, Tell your buyer to get his cash out and buy that truck.If he has any left from smokin all that crack.Your truck was built in Kansas.And the "Highboy" is just a nickname given to pre 77'F250 4x4"s.As you have been told of different frame dimentions and powertrain components.This is true.

It's not factory!

maybe on the married T/C???

my 76 F-250,C6, divorced 203, full time 4wd, and the c/v joint is at the transfer case end of the front driveshaft, positive it is a factory set-up

I'd rather have a canadian Ford. At least the newer ones, anyways. For some reason they make more power.

This is an old thread y'all dug up...but the following needs clarification so y'all won't get the wrong info:

The VIN in question was: F26YKS09678

F26 = F250 4WD

Y = 360 2V

K = Kansas City Assembly Plant

S09678 = 1973.

1961/80: The 5th digit of the VIN is the assembly plant code.

If the code is the letter C = Oakville, Ontario Canada Assembly Plant.

If the code is anything else, it was not assembled in Canada.

High Boy's (not Ford terminology): 1967/76 F250 4WD's and 1977 F250 4WD's assembled before serial number Y20,001.

Sorry but here is my take on the Highboy name.

To me this is a Highboy:

My wife's Highboy

This is not a Highboy it is a 76 F250, plain and simple. But it is a Dentside.

Highboy is a nick name not a real name.

Highboy: Hot Rodders term for a 1932 Ford Roadster with the fenders and splash shields removed, exposing the body riding high atop the frame rails.

Highboy: Antique furniture term for a circa 1750/1800 New England Chest on Chest w/Cabriole Legs.

High Boy: Enthusiasts term for 1967/77 F250 4WD's.

Yes I did post on it back in '02...someone dug it up and i read it and posted again.....some people will never get what a "highboy" is...I get tired of people calling half tons and lifted trucks highboys....it's just like Numberdummy said....67-77(up to certain serial number) are highboy's...nothing else....and they ALL have divorced transfercases....if not it's been swapped in...or it's NOT a highboy

Garth Brooks · #42 (**permalink**) 11-30-2009, 08:38 AM

well this truck the 203 is married to a c6 and then ther is a 8 inch long drive shaft that connects to the 205 and yes it is a 205

fordtrucknut · #43 (**permalink**) 11-30-2009, 10:51 AM

It has been swapped in...it's not original...Highboys never came with a married Transfer case

sounds like somebody put a doubler in that

Garth Brooks · #45 (**permalink**) 11-30-2009, 11:56 AM

Well Thanks for that. But another question is does any one know why the rear 205 can be put in front wheel drive rear wheel drive or 4 wheel drive
