Bought a second truck.
Last week I bought this 1976 Ford F-250 4-wd, gratefully it isn't a highboy. I really think I stole it after searching for another truck. Body and paint a bit rough but very little to almost...

Nice truck Ken. I had an earlier 70’s F250 Camper Special that also had the 390 2 bbl engine.
How come that one’s not a highboy (divorced transfer case)? I thought those ran through 1977.5?
:):)
Thanks, I'm liking it more and more.
"highboy" was actually an option.
Yep, Ford dropped the divorced transfer case and the "power assist" power steering in mid year 1977.
I bought this 1972 F-250 Ranger XLT Camper Special back in Sept 2005 with only 31,000 miles on it. The only two options he didn't order was a limited slip and air conditioning.
It too had a 390. I installed a 428 CJ cam, a Ford cast iron "S" intake and a Holley 4-v off a 1966 390 GT. A set of Hedman headers and a good friend built me a really nice custom 3" exhaust.
Did you know the exhaust pipe on the camper specials extended further out from under the body that non camper specials??
