F250 Socks
Description: The original Ford 'highboys' ('67-'77.5 F-250 4X4 models) were true works of art - a factory lifted pickup truck that sat 'right.' These early 4X4s were conversions of 2WD chassis as it was easier to utilize the original 2WD trans than to design an adapter to marry them. This meant that the transfer case was connected with a short driveshaft (aka a divorced transfer case) rather than being married to the back of the trans like they are today. Having the transfer case further back required a longer front driveshaft, which required the truck to sit higher for proper clearance. The end result was a truck that sat a good 4" higher than a 2WD F-250 and looked as tough as it was, quickly making them a hit with consumers for work and play alike.
