Hey guys.
I was introduced to this great website by my wife's friend from high school, you guys know him as "1972 hi boy".
I have always been a ford truck guy, mostly sticking to ford diesel pickups. but a little while ago Rich gave me a ride in his 1972 hi boy and ever since i have been wanting one. while my attempts to lure one of his many trucks have been unsecessful... i am still looking for a hi boy of my own. and when i find it i will post some pics!
meanwhile, here is a pic of my current ford truck

Welcome from OKlahoma Thats a good looking Ford you have. I'm a fan of white paint.
I'm on the lookout for a highboy myself. Hard to come by around here tho.

from the Bay Area! Keep looking, there out there. There always seems to be a few on CL in the area. There was a nice one up in Sacramento Area last week I believe. I wish you may best on your hunt for a highboy.
