I bought a new 1976 highboy F250 new in Delta Colorado for $5250.00. It was a great truck! I installed a 390 in 1981 that was in the La Sal Utah trash dump, and really loved it! So much more power!
Great color. Ford, Lincoln, Mercury had that brown exterior color. Such a classy/classic look. We had a 1975 mercury marquis woodie station wagon. Brown with high back bench seats. Cadillac of all station wagons. Ah ..all the memories. Wouldn't want to go back. But; the memories are wonderful.
Actually wasn't factory lift. It was a standard size F250 4x4 for the era. They sat 2.38 inches higher than the 77.5 to79. Theyvsat higher because they had a narrow frame and needed a divorce transfer case
I have an orange 1976 F250 High Boy. The body has a lot of rust but I like how it looks. I want learn about working on it. My husbands work friend has done some repairs on it.
76 F250 4x4's came from Ford with a Dana 60 rear axle and a low pinion, ball joint Dana 44 front axle. Ford did not call them "Highboys"... that's a term that developed in the aftermarket.
yeah but a dana 60 front will plug right in so will a dana 70 rear.... idk about the rear being a 70 just by looking at it but that def looks to be a front 60
SMH... Ford never called them Highboys. That's a term that came from the aftermarket. And no, those trucks came with Dana 60 rear axles and Dana 44 front axles. Come on guys.
It's not really a ranger package not like people from the '80s think. But but but but but it might have tilt-wheel!! push forward on the directional stick while gently trying to move the steering wheel upwards or downwards..

Wow! You trigger a memory for me… my parents had a brown Ford LTD!
@@CarsShopsAndCollections bet it was awesome. Maxed out LTD'S WERE AWESOME. PLUS...A 460 4BBL.

That truck is AWESOME brother.
So cool! Can’t wait to see it on the road
Same! It's going to look so good!
Can’t wait for all of the offers to help to come pouring in!
Debut the rebuild at SEMA 2023!
Hey buddy. Do you know what rims and tires those are? Sizing and brands please. Love the truck.
@@nickcox4343 I spoke to Larry... He said The tires are Milestar Patagonia 37X17. Wheels are Black Rhino 17"
Had my 76 F-250 custom for 29 and half years bullet proof workhorse . Wish I could have kept it.
Hi boy is a divorced case with a Dana 44 low pinion and a 60 in the rear. Really wish they came with a 60 front, that would be the best truck ever

How does someone get the full information on the vehicle when it was first sold,
We got a lot of the information from the Marti Report!
thank you so much
I wish I could have found one of these thrifty pickups.
Yeah... He hit the jackpot!
you trying to pull the tailgate handle up you should pull it sideways.
Your wrong,1 year of them 76 regular 250 and 250 highboy came factory from ford
Factory lifted? This guy has no idea what he's talking about
