Had my 1977 high boy for 45 yrs restored once still going strong best ford ever made

My Dad had a 1977 1/2. F250 Ranger XLT 4x4 granny low westcoast mirrors side tool box, lots of memories was a great truck. Miss that truck and my dad too! Both are long gone.

Back when you got into a pickup and felt like a man the minute you turned it over and the motor roared you wanted to drive down mainstreet with your deer rifle on the gun rack great time's teenagers today will never know how awesome it felt to have all that power and sound all you wanted to do is drive your truck from morning to night and hang out .

Just the sound of the door closing is awesome

Look when he opens the hood thier is inuf room to work on it what a fantastic idea.

Wow, this is a rare truck indeed and it's in phenomenal condition. Congratulations to the person that bought this truck!

I normally like working with GM, but I think the Highboy is one of the best looking trucks in history

Awesome truck! Food doesn’t come from stores! Amen to that and god bless ranchers and farmers!

I love this mans enthusiasm...

Straightforward and simple. Thanks boss. Pleasure listening to you and seeing your solid truck.

I’ve got a factory 79 F350 4x4 ranger xlt standard cab long box that I’m working to make a daily driver…been sitting in a pole barn since 91 without an engine in it. The factory 400 blew up and was in the back of the box. I’ve since then installed a good used 460 and rebuilt the front diff with all new brakes, new proportioning valve etc etc. I still need to go through the rear brakes and have custom exhaust made cause 79 4x4 never came with a 460. About 10,000 79 f350 4x4 trucks were built but not sure how many with this trim package. It’s a c6 auto with factory 4.10 gears ….should be a fun truck to drive when done.

One thing I can truly say about Ford, when it came to their top of the line vehicles, they didn’t hold back on the extra trim, moldings and brightwork. As you can clearly see here it didn’t stop with their trucks either! Thanks one sweet rig, Thanks for sharing!

My dad had this truck. WE got it used in 1979. My best friend's dad had the same they bought new in 77.

Who else with a highboy is drooling over that bed?

Love those classic Ford trucks. My favorite is the blue 1977 highboy xlt 4 spd. Love your videos

1977 I must have put a million miles on truck just like this one plowed mountains of snow with it hailed tons of firewood and water back on the farm

Fine looking truck. Side box on bed is similar to the camper special on the earlier model of Ford trucks. Love these old Fords from the 60s and 70s.

I had 1976 highboy it ran a 390 motor man I miss it should of keep it forever.

Glad to still have them 😊

Bought a 79 short bed 4wd in this good of shape with no motor or transmission a few months ago for $800 been building a 460 for it can't wait to have it on the road

What a beautiful example of the HIGHBOY.

I had a 1977 F150 ; wish I had it back! You've got a real nice one! I think the 77 was the nicest looking of the F series!

I bought a 77 f250 hi-boy and traded it in for a 79 f250, it was a good truck but I feel the 77 was better!. I purchased a 71 f250 hi-boy about 6 months ago I'm going to finish the restoration on it!, it's my daily driver and I love it!. The 77 you have is a really nice truck!, I love it!.

She’s a beaut Clark

Great looking survivor built way better than the junk they build today

This truck brings back memories

Still wish they had that storage compartment under the bed. I like the 79’ models best. 79’ and the 05’-07’ Ford Superduties are the sexiest trucks ever made in my opinion.

Beautiful truck!

Great looking truck!

It sounds wonderful.

I just picked up a 1977 f250 custom explorer. 2 tanks, powersteering. Still has the hood ornament too. :) 4.5k

Thanks for caring enough to call your truck what it is. Everybody throws the term ''Hi Boy" around rather carelessly, except for you:) A true Hi boy is a 76-77 F250 4x4 with a divorced transfer case. I see alot of bogus 79s and 72s that look good but are not correct. You have a beatiful example of what these trucks were engineered to be look like. I own a 79 F150 and a 79 F250 as well as a 76 F350 long chassis dumptruck and I look forward to finding a Hiboy for the collection. Thanks for the inspiration.

What a beauty.

I also own a 77 F250 plow truck and no matter the temp or depth of snow, nothing stops it.

These are great trucks, had a 72 F250 myself unfortunately it was from up north somewhere and quite rusty. I personally like the 77 1/2 to 79 F250 ‘s more, real power steering and the transfer case married to the tranny. The body style of these Ford trucks was just awesome !

Amazing truck.

I had a 77 I put together. Was the XLT with air. Ford had 2 firewalls, a/c and no a/c. I wasn't going to run air and had to duplicate your truck. Did have a donor. Non air had vents in the kick panels. The non air heater was different too.

Nice truck to say the least. The only difference between a 1976 & a 1977 Ford Pickup was that on a ‘76, the F150,F250, ect emblems were on the lower part of the front fenders between the wheel well & the door. In ‘77 they just moved them up on the cowl like on this on. Good Day Everyone!

My dad loves Ford trucks he's on quite a few F1 50s he's never had an automobile in his life it's always been trucks pick ups Ford makes the best truck in United States by America by Ford

Wish it was closer to me up here in Canada

Nice truck!🛻

My dream truck is the Dodge W/D200 no truck will change that, but the old Ford F series are very beautiful trucks aswell!

That's a really nice truck

My 1976 ( bought new) rusted through in 6 years and it was Ziebarted, had a 390 engine and got 12mpg.

Nice truck!

Back when trucks were tuff and the driving was the best part, no Air but my 76 Ford highboy didn't have it either I was ok with just floor vents myself. My brother had 77 GMC Sierra with a 350 what else it did have Air in it that Sierra was like new when he got it and he replaced the tires with 35 inch Micky Thompson that really made it look very bad ass it was great off roading but when you ran the Air on it you lost alot of power on the motor I remember!

Love ❤ this truck

Really nice

"they bought it in california and moved up here to idaho like they all do"

I must have a 1975 truck built about the same time as you because mine has the braces and dual tanks. I'd love to see a picture of your extra tank. Mines made out of thick steel.

Had one just like it,,wish like hell i had it back,,,monster oil pressure is a new one for me

Man I would love to have this truck.

Nice truck

Ford F series trucks were available with integrated factory AC at least back to 1973.

beatiful and solid

Wish my steering would stay straight like that my 95 goes all over the place as soon as you let go 😂

Hello from Canada I just picked up a 76 f250 highboy I think it’s a 460 on propane doesn’t run but complete un molested with canopy looking forward to build it

Looks amazing. I myself have a 74 high boy being worked on by CV CUSTOMS in California. Hes posting videos of the upgrades hes doing. Doing a sniper efi kit and power steering. Thanks for the video. Dont see too many detailed videos on here these days. Your truck is clean.

The factory white wheels is the best look on a highboy I think..

What??? No quarters or soft match books in the vent windows! Didn't know it was possible.

Manual!!! Nice

I'm from Boise!

I have a 78 f 250 4x4. Nice truck from LA. Now have it on the east coast. Shes for sale

Is this truck still for sale. It’s the truck of my dreams

Wow

Nice truck. Is it still for sale?

You would still have the same top speed with the old four speed. Direct 3 rd gear is the same as 4th gear in the old standard trans.

Mine has two tanks and it’s complete stock and it’s a 74

Curious if the beautiful truck is still for sale ?? Thanks

It's a nice truck. How many gazillion dollars are you asking for it?

I am surprised no air, my 76 highboy had air and transfer case brace. Also amber turn signal lenses. 360 went to lunch at 31000, I found a 428 police interceptor in a 68 mercury Indiana state police cruiser, had it balanced, bored .030 with c6 and 4.10 gears 36.5 tires got 10-12 mpg. The perfect tow vehicle on road or off.

You are wrong about factory air not available on 1977 High Boys. I ordered new 1977 f250 Ranger xlt in October of 1976 arrived mid Nov with factory air. Btw I still own truck and is in process of an off frame restoration

interesting! have a (December 76) 77 highboy they came with 400 cube engine, factory ac as well

I never heard this silly Highboy term when these trucks were new, they were just 4x4 or four wheel drive , but tough pick ups never the less! I miss the simplicity of everything, much more affordable than today's space shuttles on the road.

Is this truck still for sale if so how can i talk too you about it

My GF dad bought a brand new one just like that...accept it was a shortbed

They only got about 10 mile to a gallon if you was lucky they needed dual tanks!

Late 77’s we’re lowered a little by Ford, no? Insurance companies demanded it I’ve heard.

How do I reach you, thanks.

It is now 8/16 2021. Do you still have this truck? I will buy it today!!! NO JOKE!!!!

Is it sold?

Hello, I am interested in this vehicle. Please let me know if you have it available for a possible purchase.

Is this still for sale? How do we contact you? Price?

Is it still available

How much, I had a1970 with 390 cu in

It looks like my 77 ford f150 ranger 4×4 400 engine ...can a f150 ranger be a highboy?..

How much

A high boy is an old 30s ford conv.

Do you rebuild engines at your shop I inherited my dads 79 F150 and I live in Philadelphia and I am having a hard time finding a shop that will rebuild a engine

What is your asking price ?

How much do you want for the truck

No escuche que motor trae originalmente ..

How much did it sell for

do you still have the truck is it for sale and how much

V8 heart a ford badge what more you need and it is manual transmission and it is 4 wheel drive

I've had many "highboys" and every single one had 2 tanks

Well how much?

Cost of this truck was $7,000 in 1977I asked my friend he still has his!

hes wrong on a few thing. factory ac was a thing. as was dealer ac which is what he's referring to. . and the one vent only means the gauge surround was swapped. (should be wood grained to match passenger)

??.dont lie,,i know for sure beens come in cans..
