Hello everyone!!

I just registered and wanted to say hi. Currently I have a couple of '59 F-100's, one short box and one long box. The long box is donating it's 1976 302 and C6 for the good of the short box. I also have a 2002 Thunderbird.

I'm thinking about buying a Highboy. I've already browsed the site and gained quite a bit of insite into these trucks. If anyone has any advice on what to look for when purchasing one of these trucks, I'd really like to hear from you. Are there any years that are better than others?

Thanks very much.

Happy Holidays & welcome to FTE from Canyon Lake, Texas! The '57 thru '59s were really good looking trucks, sounds like a good project. I'm sure you'll get some good feedback on "what to look for.....". Welcome, again!

djkrs2....................Welcome to the best Ford truck site on the web. If you want to ask questions about Highboy's go to the 73-79 forum. I have a early 77 Highboy and love it, wouldn't settle for anything less.

Welcome to FTE!

When you get a chance, stop by the 1948-60 forum and say hello. Would love to hear more about those '59's.
