to the best of my knowledge it was produced from 1967 to mid year of 1977. they had what is called a divorced transfer case with a short driveshaft between the transmission and the transfer case. they may have been produced earlier but im not sure.
no, ford highboy line was a 3/4 ton deal and only thru 77.5
I have a 1979 ford ex cab half ton 4x4 with front leaf springs not coil springs is it a high boy?
1/2 ton
NO it is a 1/2 ton. 2500 is a 3/4 ton.
1500 means 1/2 ton. 2500 means 3/4 ton. 3500 means 1- ton.
each ton = 2,000 lbs. 34 X 2,000 = 68,000 lbs.

The Ford "HighBoy" is referring to a Style of Ford F-250 made thru the Mid-70's. This Truck Varied From the Original F-250. The Ride Hieght of this Truck is Greater. This Truck uses a NP 205 Divorced Transfer Case. You Can Tell the Highboy From the Regular F-250 By the Transfer case configuration. The Divorced Case Means there is a Driveshaft between the Transmisson and the Transfer case. ALL highboys are made this way. The highBoy also uses a Reverse Rotation Pinion setup in the Front Differential. This is a Very Strong setup as it allows more pinion and ring teeth to be combined at one time. The Gear Ratio on the Highboy is what Ford Calls 409. Most people call it 410. The Highboy also Features 1 Ton Hubs, Dana 60 or 70 Rear end. This is a very good Truck for those who want a strong truck. Still a Few around!
