I'm right there with you, Brother!! I'm a 55yr old Black Man who got into the off road lifestyle, after I bought my '75 F250 Highboy. Almost the same color as Harry's truck, and looking to do a similar build, but not quite as serious because I still want to use her for a work truck.

@@Oldskul-iz4om that is so awesome I would love to go wheeling with you guys sometime!

@@HarrySituations I follow you on Instagram also, so I'll shoot you my email. I'm very interested in the build you did on your F150!

You got good taste

Can he put 4 rear tractor tires on that truck or no?

The BEST!

Chancho, when you are a man, sometimes you wear stretchy pants

Thanks Tom that is good to know!

Thanks for the feedback, we're glad you like them!

O and thanks for the tech on the front axle

This is perhaps the most useful comment in the history of KZfaq.

We couldn't agree more!

Curious as to why you didn't use that build for an f-250/f-350 ?

Thanks John! It was awesome to watch you take that beast through the rocks.

In the summer I’m typically up in the higher elevation wheeling in the Sierra. Don’t have any events planned in the near future.

Thanks for the tip!

Thanks for the info Jake!

Nah, most 78’s had square headlights as well, the 78 Custom was the only trim level that had round lights, all the rest were square as were All 79’s…. And alot of guys claim to have a 400 when most aren’t 400’s, they’re 351M engines.

You sure it had a 400 and not a 351M?

@@warrenmcelroy4718 positive my brother bought a new truck the same year and his had the 351 M and 4 speed but mine had the 400. Good god I loved that truck but I couldn’t afford to drive it.

It is bronze so it is soft, but it does end up in the filter and the pan, which isn’t ideal.

A HiBoy doesn’t have Dana 44’s, they have one 44 and one 60….. giant tires an a dana 44 is very ballsy, hell it’s ballsy enough on a Dana 60 rear, especially if you’re making any decent amount of power

Well I know its a 10 bolt rear end

390 with automatic transmission has little to no power thought about diesel swapping it

@@danieldavis5242 so it’s been pieced together? We used to run 14 Bolt rear ends in our sled pulling truck because GM axle shafts were so much cheaper than the Dana 60 axles that it came with,but a ten bolt is a GM axle too and someone would have had to have put it in themselves. I don’t know much about them but I’d think they were either the same strength or less than a Dana 60. Also unless someone swapped the 390 in then it would have a 360. I know exactly what you’re saying though, unless the 360/390 engines are somewhat freshly rebuilt then they can be pretty gutless, I’ve had a lot of them through the years in old HiBoy’s and every one of them was wore slap out “still loved every single one of them though”. My brother has a 66 F250 4x4 that he put a Turbo Charged 6.9 International diesel into and it was definitely worth it, it had a 428 in it but it’s much more badass now. I have a 97 model 12 valve Cummins just waiting for a 76-79 Crew Cab F250 4x4, if I could ever find one in decent shape that is… so I’m with you 100% on the diesel swap, don’t even really matter what Diesel engine you decide to go with it’s definitely gonna be Badass

As long I bought the truck the 390 that's in it from the previous owner told me I all can say its gutless it smokes burns oil and I bleave needs new piston rings or something I would like to diesel swap it for torque then hp like to be able to reliable for mud blogging and rock crawling

It has Dynatrac ball joints and they haven’t given me any issues but I do hear good things from my friends who have done ball joint deletes.

Well No Shit🤣🤦🏾‍♂️
