1977's before serial number Y20,001 = High Boy.
1977's from serial number Y20,001 = Not a High Boy.
Ford never refered to any 1977 truck as a 1977.5, that's an enthusiasts term, as is the term High Boy.
Serial number Y20,001 occured in mid-model year 1977, where that 1977.5 jazz comes from.

The last six digits of the VIN is the serial number.
Since it's Y93662, it's after the High Boy serial number cut off, so it's not a High Boy.
Before Y20,001 = High Boy. From Y20,001 = Not.
