whats a "highboy"?

what actually is the classification highboy? I gotta 74 f250 4x4 that has about 5" blocks between the rearend and springs, it sits higher than most trucks, but I dont know whether to call it a highboy or not. The guy I got it from didnt know either. Still a BMF truck though

One surefire way to tell is if it has a divorced transfercase. If it does, its a highboy.
