Highboy frame width vs 2x4/4x4 F100

Post by 71PA_Highboy »

OK,

Keith has a table on this page:

I thought the Highboy was different, but my memory is not what it used to be.

Please set me straight.

Thanks!

For bumpsides, the frame widths are all the same. For dentsides, the highboy frame was narrower in the rear than the F-100 and F-250 2wd, but the same as the F-350 and heavier 2wd.

Basically, the highboy and F-350 frames are almost the same, the highboy frame is actually a bit stouter up front. Those two frames stayed the same from 67 through 77. The lighter frames were changed and got wider in the rear in 73.
