1973 Highboy
I may have the opportunity to purchase a stock '73 Highboy on short notice.
I know the frame and bed are more narrow but are they unique enough where replacement parts are not available? I'm mainly referring to things like steering linkage, suspension components, driveshaft U-joints, brakes, etc.

33 1/2" width between the inner frame rails behind the cab: 1961/72 F100/350; 1973/77 F250 4WD (High Boys); 1973/79 F350 Cab & Chassis and Regular Cabs on the 140" wheelbase.
The bed is the same, but the bed mounting holes are in a different location due to the 33 1/2" width of the rear frame rails.
8' Styleside bed same 1973/76 F100/250 & F350 except on the 140" wheelbase. 1977/79 Styleside bed left quarter panels have fuel doors.
