Seeing the potential that others don’t. This is the perfect condition for a classic truck. Presentable and cool but not so nice that you can’t actually use it as a truck. And not all pimped out with aftermarket accessories. Nice job👍
I'm glad the grandson is getting it. I lost track of my Grandpa's truck 25 years ago, really wish I could find who has it. Even if it was junked in someone's pasture and parted out, I'd still buy it off them.
Nice truck.I miss my 77 F 150,highboy. I put a 1973 429 cu in motor out of a Merc Marquis. I put a new timing chain in it n umbrella valve stem seals on it.Made my own motormts.That truck got 11- 12 mpg n could put the speedo needle all the way around past 100 mph till it was up against the post behind 0. There wasn't a Chevy or Dodge ,gas or Diesel that could pass it going up hill !
Wow, what a transformation.....nice job of preservation.....still needs to go to the next level, paint and some detailing under the hood ect. No need for total resto as it looks like a nice solid dentside. Nice the truck is going back home👍
You don't hit the hood to open it you just gently lean down on it some while pulling the release. As long as you are not vertically challenged (short). I wish someone today made a truck as uncomplicated and tough as this truck is and it had an engine as good as the 12 valve cummins in it. I have owned and driven for years many Ford trucks from 79 back and only regret was the fuel mileage. This truck here will get about 8 mpg and less if you open the 4 barrels up on it.
C6 is a great trans but definitely not the more desirable transmissions between it and the Four Speed manual trans. But either way y'all did a phenomenal job on this old Highboy. I'm on the lookout for a 76-79 Crew Cab 4x4 that's in decent condition and have a 97 model 12 valve Cummins Diesel that's just itching to re power one.
If I own another ford pickup it'll be one like this with a 4sp and a built 460 for working and low end torque my brother had one and when it was realy hard at work it seemed to run its best can't count the loads of scrap and fire wood it hauled all while pulling a trailer loaded down as well it wasn't a fancy truck but it definitely was a man's truck ment to out work the competition and did until the 90 model dodge 5pd 4x4
My Grandpa Used To Have A Jade Green 77 F150 After He Traded The 75 F150 He Said It Was Beautiful Even My Grandma Said: “Oh my god! “That thing was gorgeous!” Also My Dad Used To Have 2 77’s, 2 79, (A Bronco And A Pickup) A 74, And A 72 (6 Pickups For Work)
Yea but the 460 even then is n was less then desirable way to go. Even the auto in these and much later sucked big balls. Everything I do gets changed over to stick. I love the old trks but big engines and auto don't work. Not the Ford version anyways.
@@jordynjones1165 early 77 had racetrack trim option, cowl badges and a 351m/400 like the later 77/79 f250 4x4s but still had a narrow frame and divorced t case. which this has, and as he mentioned its a half year for the 77 f250s.
that is awesome that the grandson is buying it. Almost brings a tear to my eye.
Love the sound of the door clicks

Nice job and video 👍🍻 Thanks for sharing
I wish I had this. Love the '71 to '77 Highboys, especially with a 4-speed.

She’s a beauty!
Awesome truck, glad you saved it !
The whole video I was thinking it needed some nice turbine wheels, then that last shot happened. LOL.
i love that truck
absolutley beautiful mine was a 76!
Truck is a classic, it's awesome 👍
Thank god you got rid of the wheels that were on it
God damm that’s nice! My dream truck
You guys did a great job nice truck....
I love this truck
It came out beautiful! I'd like to have that topper that was on it before though.
Highboy is just a knick name given for all 67 to 77 f250 4x4s ! All of them !
Camper specials are the more desirables.
@@davidmilhalik6639 67/77 f250 4x4 wasn't availible as a camper special. 2wd only till late 77. and there everywhere.

Yup,do the same hood trick on my 73
I’d love one with a 12v Cummins and a standard transmission.

Nice job
How did you restore the paint ? Looks great!
We just cut and polished it, but it took us several days of polishing.

All it needs is a set of clearance lights.
That's wonderful thing.
Thats my dream truck
I love it!
Where did you get the wheels and hub caps?
In the end of the video truck had some awesome looking rims, What happened to those wheels ., looks good. but those mag wheels where much better.
What was the selling price? Love that truck if you have another one like it.
I have LOTS more like it, stay tuned! They'll slowly make their way to Ebay and I'll post the link once they do.

I need that bronco body I see out back.
On how much you sold this truck man$..
I know you said it has 35" tires but what size wheels are those?
16 inch.
@@goretro868 Thanks. I need to find a set to replace my 16.5" and was worried that 16" would be too small with the front rotors.
Well you should have kept those stock turbin wheels on it. Iether way its a nice old truck
paint this boi forrest or od green please!!!!!!!! keep the old school chrome tho
You did well.
for sale?
I'm restoring one that needs a lot of work
Ford really made real truck with Balls at one time
Is this truck for sale?
No, it's been sold
Do you wanna sell the truck
Jose Loza Jesus Christ...... Pay attention Guy!
ahhh,put some new paint on it ,make that beby shine.
That's awesome the grandson got to buy his family truck back. If only the truck came with a stick. (to fight all the girls off his sick new ride!)
I have a 1976 f100 3 on tree
I'f the family does'nt buy it I will
It ain't a truck if it doesn't have wires hanging under the dash.
dam she nice ! this is ua-cam.com/video/I1dBR70QOjc/v-deo.html my 77 super cab i looked high and low for a high boy

I’ve always preferred a manual trans too but the C6 auto that came in these trucks is a pretty stout trans.
My papa had a 73 highboy went end over end in it and got himself ejected and broke his neck
Not a Highboy
Not possible to be more wrong. Early 77 is the original highboy. It is the reason the term was coined.
