Is it possible that my 10/77 F250 4x4 is a tall boy?

[fatheroftwo]

It has spacer blocks under the rear leaf springs, and the transfer case seems to be a separate part from the trans. Any on have pics of the items so that I can compare?

Thanks.

Pretty sure that the divorced transfer case indicates a "high boy"

The divorced case is supposed to be one of the key traits of the nicknamed trucks... I have seen that name applied to nearly every Ford possible though. Sad thing about all the craze is that it really was never anything special. Not a package, not an improvement, just the plain stock offering. You couldn't get an F250 4x4 any other way at that time...

 

[fatheroftwo]

yeah, but they look good!

I drank a hot schlitz I found when I was about 15 and about croaked. never tried another schlitz.

You know why women don't dring beer on the beach?

^^ Looks like he left you hanging........

Has anyone one else wanted to pay someone to restamp that without the "L"?

 

[SuperCab]

Hehehe it's probably been done somewhere

I'm confused about that one. If it was manufactured in 10/77, it would have been a 1978 model year. The "highboy" would have been discontinued halfway through the 1977 model year.

Do you know what the DSO code is on the VIN plate?

Mine is 11-09-77 but its also Super Cab with married transfer case

 

[fatheroftwo]

They don't want to get sand in their Schlitz.

Mine is a 10/77, that is why i am confused. The transfer case is attached where the output shaft comes out of the trans, the rear axle has big blocks between it and the leaf springs.

 

[SuperCab]

If the transfer case it directly attached to the transmission it is not a highboy. It's just a truck with lift blocks.

 

[fatheroftwo]

can I get pics?

The transfer case is not part of the trans, it is only connectd to the output shaft of the trans.

 

[SuperCab]

Not the best pic but you can see a divorced case has three driveshafts. One from the transmission, and two going to the axles.

 

[fatheroftwo]

That is unusual looking. I'll have to slide under my new truck

and take another look. Thank you for the pic.

What's that 4th driveshaft for ? The small one . Power take off ?

 

[SuperCab]

Yeah, PTO I would assume.

The non ford named Highboy was done with Vin# Y80000
Every 77 with Y80001 and higher is not a Highboy.

Check your Vin .if the last six digits start with two letters Like AE. .it's a 78.
