My new 67 Highboy project

[victimofwv]

It is missing the engine only. Thats the only reason I got it because of shipping costs. It has the 4 speed trans still in it I will most like ly use in my 70 Explorer.

Hey, I saw that truck listed....congrats, I'd definitely say you got a good deal. Of course, getting it home will add to that, but still....

I got a few quotes on getting it here. It will add to it, but the truck is still worth what I paid and what it costs to get it here figuring I am using most everything on it. And the plus side the paint is still usable, so I won't have to paint it right away. It even has 4 new tires on it! Plus I am also getting the rare dual tank option.
Hopefully this weekend I'll start getting the highboy apart.

That is a nice looking truck...for 450? Outstanding!

Also, I believe those are called "Black Daytona Rims" and yes, they do look good.

My dad had a set of the white that he painted black himself and put a red stripe around the inside...matched the red of the truck and looked pretty good for a home job.

Talked to a guy Wednesday about transport. The donor truck should be here before the end of Oct.
Sorry everyone I haven't been too active lately. Have had truble with a tooth. Got it yanked out yestarday and now recovering from that.

You dont need no teeth to type
Besides we are from west virginia, you should only have two.


(I said it before anyone else could)
The guy with the 390's will probably sell one or both. He told me to give a guy his number about buying the 4 barrel intake. I can get it for you if you like.

It looks good to me. I cant tell from the pics that it needs all that work.
Have fun with it.

Well, today I did the first repair job. I found a new locking ring for the shifter on the 4-speed. I put it in and it is really tight now! It shifts like a new trans!

Hi all. Sorry I have been a little scarce lately. Have been working alot of OT right now. I wouldn't even be here now if it weren't for me taking off today for a doctor's visit.
The project is about to shift into high gear! OT has allowed me the funds to buy the stuff I need. Just bought a 78 F250 for the axles and steering components. Since it is now October and the 78 is a complete running unit, I will most likely use this one as a work truck until spring. This will give me time for saving up for my skyjacker 4 inch lift and super swamper tires.
The highboy now has a powerplant thanks to my 79 f150 4x4 that I am stripping down. It is a rebuilt 351M with an RV type cam. Just scored the bellhousing for the 4-speed trans on ebay today for 125 bucks. and my 79 has a complete new exaust system, so no money will be spent there. I just need to go to Advance and get a points distributor and starter. I am hoping one of my FE or small block flywheels will fit.
Any of you guys who have f100 4x4s and need running gear parts, shoot me a PM as I may have what you need. Since I have a 78 bronco and a 79 f150 that I am parting out.

Hi guys. Sorry for being so quiet lately, but with working 60 hours a week. I am lucky to be able to spend time with my truck, let alone get online. I got the parts truck about 2 weeks ago and must say it is one of the best 67's i have seen in awhile. I also snagged a running 390 S-code 335 horse motor, and a set of 4.10 ratio '76 highboy axles with the big dual piston disc brakes and big spicer locking hubs.
I am working on another new project right now which is my 78 f250 lowboy 4x4 work truck. But I hope to be able to start tearing the 2 '67s apart this weekend. I will do my best to post some pix up here in a day or 2.
