Hello all......quick question

Hello. Im.new to this forum and I have a quick question. I have an 97 F350 that has a heavy/emergency type of frame and suspension. Dana 60's front and back, etc. I was told this has a "highboy" frame. Is that accurate? It started life as a emergency response vehicle. Thx in advance.

welcome to FTE.
you need to associate with more intelligent people.
the last Ford "highboy" was built in 1976 or 77.
and that 97 F-350 Single wheel 4X4 was built with a sterling 10.25 rear axle.
ford stopped putting the Dana 60 in single rear wheel pickups in 1986

Thx for the info. I'm not very knowledgeable on Ford trucks and online research can be spotty at times. Thx again.
