i thought the hi boy was actually built as an off road emergency vehicle. and was marketed to fire depts but didnt catch on so they were offered to the public. they do sit higher than standard 4x4s of the same year.

My .02, divorced transfercase low pinion front axle narrow rear frame f250 4x4 made between 1967 to april 1977 is a highboy weather it is a crew cab or a regular cab. The supercab f250 4x4 was not offered until 1978 model year it has a married transfercase and the rear frame is the same width as all other ford light trucks made from 77.5 -79 and all nonf250 4x4 pickup trucks made from 1973-1979

All the 1977 models were produced before serial number Y20,001.
The term High Boy isn't from Ford, but an enthusiasts name for them.
Originally, the term was coined for 1973/77 F250 4WD's, but now refers to all the 1967/77's F250 4WD's made before serial #Y20,001.
