Hello all, just trying to get an idea of what my 76 highboy might be worth. I have posted several posts here while getting it back on the road. it was parked almost 20-years, the motor was rebuilt before being parked. I have replaced everything under the hood (all externals timing cover pump you get it) had heads rebuilt, serviced the trand the diff, new brake system just need to replace brake lines. runs awesome except I need to check the second new fuel pump. The first one broke at the seam, second I think is leaking but haven't confirmed. may just put on a electric pump.

Except for the drivers door I crunched and had to replace, the truck is staright as an arrow. I 'll finising buffing it out, I have all new rubber seals to be installed, doors latches etc. Just having a tough time getting it finsihed. we purchased a weekend get away and spend a lot time away. I keep the truck parked inside, but I don't want it to waste away. I drive it at least once a week to keep things going.

I'll attach some picks. This is a f100 460 BUT, its on a 3/4 ton chassis. That's how I purchased it, didn't know at the time, in fact I didn't realize it was a real highboy at the time until someone here told me. It's also got brand new 35's on nice wheels. Even the stock radio works...LOL

Thanks

 

 

Is the transfer case married or divorced? No dent side 4x4s ever came with 460s AFAIK. In any case, it's a truck with some interesting history, a little of this, and a little of that, and fun. If you decide to sell it, you'll get a whole bunch of low ball offers from browsers just out kicking tires. What you have in it is your best target IMHO.

I had once decided to sell my '77 few years back, offered it at $2500 to downsize the fleet .... I was including extra new doors, bed sides, tail gate from Ford, fresh 400 short block on a stand, etc, 105,xxx miles. Had lookers wanting me to keep spares and give them the truck for a song to use on a farm, etc. It was still a good dependable truck, even if it had rust issues. The new accumulated body parts weren't rusty but I realised I was not gonna be able to do what I had planned for years. I survived some health challenges & soon afterwards changed directions, solicited help, dropped a few $k into it, had me some fun.
Now every gas stop involves "truck" conversation. Guys give me cards for if ever I want to sell it, I have to turn down offers. Used to be I just parked it beside the shed and kept it up for hauling trash, limbs or dragging tree parts or etc. I would let the rain wash it. Now it's in the shed ... and covered to block bird poops.
