Exclamation I'll throw you a bone...

Ok... let me school you on what is a highboy. They are F250 4x4's with a divorced transfer case & three or four inch lift blocks for the rear (I don't exactly recall which size it was). They were made from 1967 to early 1977 (otherwise known as a 1977 1/2). FYI... Ford never referred to these trucks as highboys.

There's no such thing as a F350 High Boy, nor an F100 or F150 High Boy, either.

High Boy: 1967/76 F250 4WD; 1977 F250 4WD assembled before serial number Y20,001 (mid model year-February 1977).

Hi-Boy: 1932 Ford Roadster with running boards, splash shields removed, exposing the body riding high atop the frame rails.

Hi-boy: Antique furniture enthusiast/dealer term for circa 1750-1805 chest on chest (dresser).

Even if I spelled it wrong thats not the point.
I could have called it a J-567 nashmustang...............

I was going by looking at the picture not the description and wondering if the truck in the picture looked like a truck some called a high boy?
