Welcome to the site;

The high boy was only a term used to identify the F-250 4x4 trucks, typically from model years 73-77.5. This is not a recognized label from Ford. There is nothing special about the high boys, they all rolled off of the production line pretty much the same way, (plus or minus some GVWR).
F-150's were not ever labeled as high boys. If an owner wants to call it a high boy, I guess he /she could do so, but the typical label was used for 73-77.5 4x4 F250's
Really kind of redundant to me, kinda like saying it is 2:00 a.m. in the morning.

Yes, however you an get 100 posts in like 2 weeks by simply copying the pasting the same responses. With search being suckky for those who don't pay, and people not even trying to search, the same stupid questions will keep gettin asked, the dead horse will continue to be beaten.

Note: There is profit in post counts .

there are millions of people who have yet to register to FTE...

It is isn't the repetitive topics that bother me.

It is the numerous off-topic threads that shouldn't be here.

If many posts weren't repeated or expanded on, we probably would run out of things to talk about.

Imagine that, we would get past the is my truck a highboy, and I took my battery out and now my truck wont start posts.

I remind myself that this forum is the first step in learning the difference between your ****, and a hole in the ground. When you figure that out, its time to move on to boards where you don't know jack, then start over.
