Another new guy question. Be prepared to groan in disgust - A high-boy ID Q

[clc2112]

OK. I know there is endless info on this but I still have a few questions that don't make sense.

I know the serial numbers are Y20,001 to right before 40,001 or somewhere close.

Well the guy doesn't know for sure he has a Hi boy and all we know is the VIN, a picture and the fact the transfer case is separated from the trans.

The VIN is:

F26YRE76865

The E is also throwing me, it doesn't appear to be expected based on the VIN chart I saw. The posts I saw usually had a Y in front of the serial number.

So, is it a high boy?

Here’s your information. It’s a 1969. Ask for the data plate on drivers door to get more info. http://www.fordification.com/tech/VIN69.htm

Yup F26 = f250 4x4. made in Feb 69' right here in San Jose.

I know it's an F250, but based on the VIN and Pic can it be verified as a hi-boy. I do know the transfer case is divorced from he trans.

Anyone?

Vin says its a f250 4x4. that equals the term "highboy" the 250 4x4s had the transfer case divorced from the transmission. the f100 4x4s had a married transfer case to the transmission. so per your question the answer is yes. that is a "hi-boy"

Excellent. The vin serial numbers didnt make sense as to what I read on another post. But if the divorced transfer case is all I need then cool beans.

Tyanks for you help. Let me know if you're ever on this side of the hill. I live near Almaden Expwy and 85.
