Sorry to say this but there is no 79 Highboy. Ford quit making the Highboy back in 77 1/2. All 3/4 tons from July 77 to 79 where nicknamed Low Boys since they sat like a 2wd. It could be a highboy since it has a lift but no factory.

Yamahaman what year is the ranger? Im quessing it has a 302 in it bored and stroked to a 308 right?

No stroke if it's a 302, just a .040 over piston.

I never said it had to be factory, Its gonna have a 3" body lift already installed on it. I just want the updated running gear so I dont have to pay a pretty penny for running gear parts.
