Ok ya'll,
Here is what I need help with, back in the day, my dad had a 197? F250. The truck he had had a small toolbox on the pass side of the truck bed. I dont know if it is a "highboy" or if it was just a factory deal on some odd models. I need to know, cause I'm looking to buy one and redo it. Any help would be great.
Thanks

 

Highboy is simply an unofficial term for the 60s to 77.5 F-250 4x4s that were pretty jacked tall from the factory, and had a divorced transfer case.

Mine is a '74.



While I am not up to speed on the underbed toolbox, I believe they were optional on all trucks, but standard on 4x4's and camper specials.

Either way, they have the not so strong low pinion closed knuckle front end's with drum brakes. Otherwise tough trucks that'll get ya some.

After college I'm comin across the state to buy one from ya speeder.

 

We had 2 1977 F250's growing up. 1st was 4x4 with no toolbox on bed. 2nd was 2wd with no box on bed. I think it was pre 1977 1/2 model year feature. I've never seen a late model year 77 or 78, 79 truck with the toolbox on the bed.

 

wasn't that where the put the spare tires on some models/ packages?

 

I've only seen the spare tire in that compartment on the Super Camper Special package trucks, very rare. That compartment also extends inside the bed similar to the fenderwell.
