@BodyByHighBoy : Man! I would love to feature your highboy on the blog! Would you be interested in writing a few paragraphs about what you love or how you built it or whatever story you have about it?
@FordAHLBilt : My dad found the truck on eBay back in 2013 and purchased it, it was barely driven and mostly just sat around till I purchased it from him about a year and a half ago then I got busy, 7.3 powerstroke and zf5 swap, factory steelies with 9.00x16 super lugs as well as some other details. I’ve had highboys in the past so it’s nothing new to me, wasn’t really in the market for one but I wanted to put the truck back on the road and use it, I work the truck often towing and hauling. No real hard decisions with the build I knew what I wanted and made it happen 🤘🏻 future plans are to completely redo the interior and possibly pull body off to rebuild/powercoat/paint everything chassis wise. Other then that, keep racking up the miles 🤠
@BodyByHighBoy : That’s awesome! So what was your first highboy?
@FordAHLBilt : It was a yellow 67, also a 7.3 swap but didn’t get a chance to finish it
@BodyByHighBoy : NICE! Love the 67's too! Noticed you have a lowered crew cab yeah? How long have you had that?
@FordAHLBilt : Yes I do, I bought that back in 2017, didn’t really start doing anything to it till 2019 tho
@BodyByHighBoy : Dang! So you've been busy with the lifted and the lowered! I love how you use the highboy to tow the crewcab too!
@FordAHLBilt : Between those and customers 7.3 bumpsides yeah I’ve been busy.
@BodyByHighBoy : If you had to pick one. . . could you? which would it be?
@FordAHLBilt : 🤣 if I had to choose, crew cab would be it
@BodyByHighBoy : Dang. . . that hurts ;)
@BodyByHighBoy : Yea, I was checking out @fordahlbiltfabrication too! mostly just those old fords huh?
@FordAHLBilt : The highboy ain’t too far behind but if I only had to choose one lol and yeah for the most part! Yeah, we do a little bit of everything but preferably 67-72.
@BodyByHighBoy : That's legit! maybe next time you get something real sweet in the shop you can share about the build and shop a bit?!?!? I know I would love to hear about trucks that are being worked on :)
@FordAHLBilt : Of course! I have a 4x4 crew and 2wd 72 here right now with 7.3s, and got 2 highboys coming in a month or so for 7.3s too
@BodyByHighBoy : Dang! sweet gig! Keep me in the loop! Maybe you could take a before and then some after photos and we could feature you and the customer trucks at the same time :)
@FordAHLBilt : Will do! They are all full builds so it’ll be a while haha and Sunday I’m going to a show in the morning and plan to have a “photo shoot” after with the highboy while it’s all cleaned up so I can send pics over then!
