Hello all

Hello there everyone. I'm a long time Ford fan and on/off again owner of various rides. I recently became the owner of a 77' high-boy and can't wait to dig into her. I'm sure I'll have many questions for all of you in the upcoming days/weeks/months. Thanks in advance for any and all replies. Well, the first question I have to ask is about the massive front hubs/lockouts. It runs a 44 in the front but I suspect it has the larger 60 outers. Any link to info on how to identify them? My first search gave alot of returns that I'm still reading over. Thanks .

thanks highboy

Thanks for the info. I had always heard about 44s with 60s outers but had never seen one. Man I can't wait to get to work on the old girl. I think the first thing is to mate up a 4-speed. Man I wish I had more vacation time left. Thanks again for the reply. Don't know how I missed it yesterday.

Hiboy's are cool. My buddy put a 500 inch whopper in his. He wanted to tow his boat to the lake faster. I asked him if he was planning on buying a yaht. The thing is nuts. Good luck!
