Picked this up the other day...... 0708121400

It's a 77 truck with a 79 front clip. Pretty much a stock 460 in it. Had a hotter engine at one time when the guy used to do a little truck pulling with it. Always loved this body style,so i'm kinda partial to it. Not sure if i'm gonna hang on to this one or sell it ?? It does need a little interior attention though. I'll get started on all that next week when i get back from vacation.... ---RED

That's a nice truck. Is it a highboy or a late 77? Looks like it has a married transfer case.

I think it's a late 77 model. Didn't factory high boys come with a D60 in the front? Mine has a D44 in the front. What are other ways to tell if it's a high boy or not? I'm not sure. My other 79 fords have all been 2wd, this is my first 73-79 model 4wd.---RED

There were very few of the highboys with the D60 in them, the D44 was by far the most popular. That is not a highboy, because it has a married T/C. BTW very nice looking truck. If you want to add a touch of class to the interior, I have a set of oak door panels for that body style hiding out in the storage room. Let me know. Wink

Clean looking truck! If you look at the frame in the front fender well & where the shock is located ahead of the axle tube tells me it is a late 77-79. The high boy trucks that had a d44 usually just had "big hubs" on them but were still a low pinion d44, where if you have a late model d44 it would be a high pinion or "reverse rotation"Keep us posted-A

Thanks fellas for the lesson on these trucks,very helpful. After reading what y'all posted,no doubt it's not a highboy. Funny thing is this,some of my neighbors are already on me about puttin it in the truck pull here in our hometown. I have never been in a truck pull,watched some, but not pulled any. So I may be asking some more silly questions about pulling.... Very Happy

Honestly, I really don't need another truck. If I keep it, that just money that I could've spent on the Coon.... I just love this body style though. I guess if somebody offered me a good price, I'd let er ride on.
