We Put a Coyote in This Classic Ford Highboy

Описание: After 20 years of ownership, Erik decided it was time to transform his trusty work truck into something he could actually drive anywhere with confidence. This '76 F250 Highboy came to us as a reliable dump-run truck, but Erik wanted more—daily driver reliability, modern power, and the comfort to cruise cross-country.

This build is a perfect example of what our Revival Series is all about: bringing customers' family trucks back to life with fresh drivetrains, modern reliability, and everything needed to turn a weekend warrior into a daily driver. What started as a straightforward Coyote swap quickly turned into a complete Revival. Every corner we turned, this 50-year-old truck reminded us why thorough builds matter. From a completely rebuilt rear differential to brand new wiring throughout, we chased down every issue to make sure Erik could trust this beast for his 22-hour drive back to Washington.

The Revival Treatment:
Gen 3 Coyote 5.0L V8 (480hp)
10R80 10-speed automatic transmission
F-150 transfer case with dash-mounted 4WD selector
Complete custom interior with black leather and blue contrast stitching
Dakota Digital gauges
Focal audio system with dual subs
New fuel tank (20 gallons)
Complete rewiring throughout
Upgraded suspension with new leaf springs
Power steering and brake booster

Erik's reaction to hearing that Coyote fire up for the first time says it all. From weekend gravel hauler to highway cruiser, this Highboy is ready for whatever adventure comes next. The Revival Series is designed to preserve decades of memories while adding decades more of reliability—taking trucks with history and giving them a future. Safe travels, Erik!
