77 highboy or not?

Help! I have a 77 f250 that I can't figure out... the VIN is F26HRY00087 and I would love to know if its a 77 highboy that I CAN put a 68 cab on without a lot of hassle, or a 771/2 that I CAN'T easily put a 66 body on. I would love some help! Transfer case is definitely divorced. Daren

Divorced is either highboy or someone did a lot of extra work.. All the answers in your other thread iron out the rest.

If the drive trane is gone look at the front of the frame. if it has a crossmember under the bumper it's a highboy.

High boy 101...A few threads are linked below:
#1 info thread https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/9...mpilation.html
Torque, how 'bout a highboy sticky? - Ford Truck Enthusiasts Forums
high boys - Ford Truck Enthusiasts Forums
What makes a Highboy? - Ford Truck Enthusiasts Forums

The basic definition seems to be: A Highboy is a Ford truck that came from the factory as having the following:
Built from 1967 thru 1977.5. F-250. 4x4. Divorced transfer case.
Trucks that are NOT considered a Highboy are: Any truck built after mid-1977. It goes by Consecutive Build Number in the VIN# anything built starting Y80001 is a 77 1/2. Anything other than an F-250.
