I got me a highboy
OK it's a 73 but it's all I could find. And the price was to good to pass up. Made a 135 mile trip home without any issues. Has the 205 and a 390. It's a car 390 I think because it has two dipsticks. I did check the stroke to make sure. Runs real good. Body isn't great but I know where a good 73 body is and also a good 71 body. I like the bump but may just put the 73 body on to keep it orignal. The 79 body has got to go i hate the grill and all the trim. Oh yeap a pic is in order.

, She's a pretty one for sure 
. Glad you found a high-boy though! I really want one, and with the way trucks rust over here it would probably look worse then that

Re: I got me a highboy
Thanks guys. I think I am going to do a body swap. The bed is to far gone. I don't think the front is a 60. But it does have some huge Ford lockouts.

That front end looks like a big hub 44.
