I don't know why they'd be harder to work on or to find parts for, as they are the same as all the other trucks made by Ford those years, beside suspension and axles. The motors are all the same, the bodies are the same, electrical, everything really... These trucks have lots of aftermarket support and parts suppliers.
No, they are not. Steering, front axles, and brakes were different. Now these parts are extremely hard to find, and therefore expensive. Just search threads on these, it's a very common complaint on "Highboy"s.

Fortunately for the OP, it being a '76 means it has disc brakes up front from factory. One less headache.
