Can anyone provide me with the length, width, height and wheelbase of a regular cab, 8 foot bed, 1977 F-250 4x4, the highboy model please. It needs to be a bone stock truck (no lift!!), on 215X85R16 tires. It's for a project I'm doing, and I literally cannot find specs/dimensions ANYWHERE. Length is what I really need.

 

Length: 214.6 inches...includes front and rear 'contour' bumpers.
Width: 75.96 inches
Wheelbase: 133 inches
Height: No data

Name's HIO Silver.... away!

 

I believe height is 76.9". Appreciate that man! Helps a lot. I searched for hours on end and got nowhere.

 

Dude.. you gotta read through the tech thread hyperlink sticky at the top of the forum threads...... There are links for body and chassis dimensions under "Diagrams".

Wouldda save TONS of time.

 

I would have but I totally forgot that thread existed. I was searching Google lol. Thanks for that though. Appreciate it.

 

215/85/16 tires are much newer, originally these trucks likely had either 7.50-16 or 8.75/9.50-16.5 tires on the appropriate wheels........Width or overall length wouldnt necessarily be influenced by stock vs lifted, and wheelbase wouldnt change either..........And the three tire sizes i mentioned would all change height

 

Well I've got the numbers now but that's interesting. Later gen came with 215s

 

Here hope this helps. I do not necessarily support the source of the information, but I support helping a Ford owner out.

 

Remember that several different tire sizes could be "Bone stock" depending on GVWR and other factors....When they changed tire sizing back in im guessing early 80's, they started phasing out the older size designations first in the 16" sizes. At one time you had 7.50-16's as common sizes, and the 235/85/16's were considered the replacement for the 7.50's. the 215/85/16 was mostly used on dually trucks, it was a common size for F350's, not f250's......

 

I'd bet that truck came with 16.5's originally? And I remember when 7.50 x16.5 and 9.50 x 16.5 tires were common.

 

I was going for a light duty highboy, nothing huge. Maybe for the 70s ones, I've never owned one. I have an 80s one and the stockers were 215/85R16. Now has 235s and 33s.


@77&79F250

Thanks for that picture!! Is there one for 80-86s?

 

I am sure there is where I got that one......source in bottom R/H corner.

 

Hmm, I can't seem to find anything.

 

Again, your asking a question we really cant answer..........a 70's Highboy is a different truck than a 77-1/2 to 79 Lowboy, and an 80 and later are even more different......An f250 highboy didnt really offer light duty/heavy duty models, they were basically all considered pretty heavy duty in there day. they all had full floating rear axles, and all that ive seen have had 7000lb+ GVWR's.............Since they sat pretty high from the factory, many have never been lifted. Find one thats got 235/85/16's on it, and you will probably be as close to original stock height as you will get. The light duty f250 from the 1980's had a semi floating rear axle, many had 300 I6's and 302V8, and up to 7000 plus or minus GVWR, while the HD F250 would have been at around 8510 or higher Gvwr........
