Tagged a highboy
Just bought myself a highboy f250.
Its a 1974 frame that had a 79 cab and front clip put on. Has hydralic steer, front drums, closed knuckle, 4.11 gears(blown front pinion due to improper pinion bearing shimming), divorced X-case, front leafs with the highboy special(bent cross bar), np435, and a 360 engine. The PO didnt even know a thing about the truck he owned for 10 years. Has a c5ae 4bbr intake. d2te heads, holley 650 dp(shocking find for me) Came with new cab corners, a new clutch,flexplate and throwout bearing still new in box. Someone removed the old 3/4 ton leafs in the rear and added 10 pack 1/2 ton leafs that could support a semi truck. The guy wanted 1200. i stated it needed a different front diff. offered 700 he turned it down. i walked halfway to my truck and offered 800 and no more. and you can figure the rest out. Plan on putting in a 4bbr 390 or 410, tci street fighter c6, a front diff from a 78 or 79 with disk brakes, open knuckle, then put in a 79 style steering box. Will have a cam, headers, Alumi intake,the 650 dp, dura spark 2, holley blue fuel pump, and lots of other good stuff. Plan on making it a daily driver for the winter so the 6.0L wont get a bad stage of the romps. but as soon as warm weather hits the parts will fly and mud bogging season will begin. |
how about some pics?

I assume you mean the front "crossmember" under the bumper? that invariably gets a tow chain hooked to it and gets bent all to hell.
