Highboy's?
Son, Tell your buyer to get his cash out and buy that truck.If he has any left from smokin all that crack.Your truck was built in Kansas.And the "Highboy" is just a nickname given to pre 77'F250 4x4"s.As you have been told of different frame dimentions and powertrain components.This is true.

The VIN in question was: F26YKS09678
F26 = F250 4WD
Y = 360 2V
K = Kansas City Assembly Plant
S09678 = 1973.
1961/80: The 5th digit of the VIN is the assembly plant code.
If the code is the letter C = Oakville, Ontario Canada Assembly Plant.
If the code is anything else, it was not assembled in Canada.
High Boy's (not Ford terminology): 1967/76 F250 4WD's and 1977 F250 4WD's assembled before serial number Y20,001.

Sorry but here is my take on the Highboy name.
To me this is a Highboy:
My wife's Highboy
This is not a Highboy it is a 76 F250, plain and simple. But it is a Dentside.
Highboy is a nick name not a real name.

Yes I did post on it back in '02...someone dug it up and i read it and posted again.....some people will never get what a "highboy" is...I get tired of people calling half tons and lifted trucks highboys....it's just like Numberdummy said....67-77(up to certain serial number) are highboy's...nothing else....and they ALL have divorced transfercases....if not it's been swapped in...or it's NOT a highboy
