Highboy without in cab tank?

I was scrolling through ebay and saw this. the guy says the production date kept the divorced tranny but no in cab tank. Ive never heard of a highboy without a in cab tank. Any ideas?

Ford : F-250 XLT in Ford | eBay Motors

My guess is a PO removed the in-cab tank and patched over the filler hole (not that uncommon) but the sellers explanation is totally bogus.

FYI this seller has a very bad reputation despite his ebay feedback score.

If you are considering buying this truck, do a search for that sellers name here in FTE and you will see what Montana is talking about.

the whole 'ORIGNAL' thing is a lie in its own. 460s were kinda not factory til '83 in 4x4s.

Let's see, where do I begin. The interior is not stock, the seat was not a split bench. I bought a Ranger XLT brand new in '77 and the seat was a regular seat, not split. Like parkerparkerm said 460's weren't offered in '77 4WD.
And the wiring! Geez, for a "caring owner" the underhood rat's nest of wiring looks like crap!
And X3 on what montana said about this sellers reputation, it really sucks. I've never had any dealings with this seller and based on what I've read/heard about him, I never will.

if you look at the interior pictures you can see at least two other trucks in the back round out the passenger window. my guess is he puts them togther as cheap as possible the sells them.

Seller failed to post the VIN, picture of the Warranty Plate or the Safety Standards Certification Label, where the production date is located / Last 6 digits of the VIN is the trucks specific serial number.

High Boys: 1967/76 F250 4WD, 1977 F250 4WD before serial number Y20,001 (February 1977).

All High Boys have an in-cab fuel tank and divorced transfer case.

All 1968/82 460's came w/a C6. 460 not available with 4WD (or a M/T) until 1983.
