My friend bought this truck brand new in Dec. 1976. He installed a dump bed to use on his farm, the engine quit and the truck was parked years ago .I bought the truck to fix and use on my farm. A couple of main bearings were very worn and rods were making excessive noise. Engine was replaced with proper replacement. Has a 410 ratio front and rear. I kept the complete original engine. Body work has been done and has been repainted with original paint. The truck has a lot of new parts ( LMC) . New rear sliding window, all door rubber kits installed, new clutch, wheel bearings, brakes and master cylinders, new seat cover. Lift was rebuilt.The horn,wiper fluid sprayer and parking brake do not work,( just never got to them). Runs and drives like it should. Health issues made me decide to sell the truck. Have original brochur, owners manual, and dealer warranty plate. Highboys are very heavy duty classic trucks, a true part of Ford's history.
