highboy history

new to here...

can anyone point me to the history of the highboy option?

I got an old F250 forest ranger truck and I want to know what I got.

Thanks for the help.

gray777, the hiboy was not really an option, all F250 4x4's built from 1967-mid 1977 were hiboys. At mid year in 77, the F250's stance was dropped to about the same ride height as the F150's. They were known as hiboys because they sat about 2" (I think) higher than the F150, I don't think Ford named them hiboys, that is just what they became known as.
