As I have stated here on FTE over 100 times, High Boy is not Ford terminology.
High Boy is an enthusiasts term for 1967/76 and 1977 F250 (before serial #Y20,001) 4WD's.
If you chose not to use the term...that's your perogative.
And...while we're on the subject, there is no such thing as a 1977.5 F250 4WD according to Ford.
1977.5 is also an enthusiasts term. Serial number Y20,001 occured mid-model year 1977, where the so-called 1977.5 comes from.

I have read on here several times that 73 to 77.5 are all highboys, what about 70 - 72, are some or are all Highboys?
