From my understanding an official highboy was a F250 built starting in 1973 and continuing till the mid 70's. What set them appart were they came standard with dana 60's front and back, a new process 205 geared transfer case, and four inch lift blocks in the rear. I have seen many fake "highboys" on ebay and such where they were advertizing the "propper lift springs" but real highboys had lift blocks. Basically it was a marketing ploy for ford in the 70's to sell lifted stock pickups because i have seen trucks that were setup the exact same as my old one that didn't have the highboy stamp on the title. Also in ford hot rod terms a lowboy is a roadster that has been lowered and a highboy is one at stock height just to add to the confusion.Not many around anymore. That sounds like a one ton Yota. They put crazy big boxes on the back of some of them.
Judging by your name I am guessing you can answer a question for me. What is the official definition of a "Ford High Boy"?
