Real World Highboy Body Swap Ranch Truck Build

On this video I thought I am doing a more real world highboy build. Maybe something one of you are doing at home! My ranch truck I use needed some work so instead of fixing everything on the 2wd chassis why not do a highboy swap!

Excellent Thanks for including the parts list it does help!

Hey there! What a great upload. Appreciate all your hard work, Matt. Nice to see the budget-version of what you usually get into, I think this will turn out to be one of my favorite builds!

[@MattKubik1791]

Thanks!

Have you done a video on the orange dentside supercab that can be seen in the background? I'd like to see more about that build. Thanks!

[@kevind3185]

John Deere Corn Head Grease work's good in those closed knuckle axles.

[@MattKubik1791]

I’ve also heard that!

[@mbmcclure3579]

I’m curious if the 67-72 cabs will fit the 73-77 frames? I owned a couple of these trucks and love them.

[@hoyboygarage6763]

Do you sell cabs off of trucks that have donated their frame? I’ve been thinking of building a bump side “highboy” on a 7.3 powerstroke chassis for a ranch truck.

[@josephtizol9695]

Another informative video. Matt what are those plates under the gas tank called that you said LMC now carries? Thank you

[@MattKubik1791]

They call it a cab/tank plate set. It’s in the in cab gas tank and components section

Where do I find a fan shroud for a 71’ F350 with a 360?

[@MattKubik1791]

Hit up the guys at Complete Performance. They will get you one. Tell them Matt sent you.

From the the beginning of your video you must have tooled around telluride Colorado and Moab Utah do you live in Colorado

[@sebastiaofilho230]

Hi Matt what is the plan for that 1967 crew cab yellow? I’m interested

[@MattKubik1791]

Complete repaint and 4wd conversion maybe 7.3 Godzilla powertrain

[@danaborgatti8954]

Is 72-78 the frame same from two wd to 4wd?

[@MattKubik1791]

1972 was the last year for the 34” frame in the 2wd trucks. (Same as 4wd) in 73 they changed to 37 behind the cab. I’m 1977.5 the 4wd also changed frame width and went away from 34” frames.

Hi

[@mikeswartz3146]

Matt , did you study mechanics in HS and or technical school or engineering in college?

[@MattKubik1791]

Nope, just grew up on a farm.

[@jesseballinger8604]

I choose to keep my high boy original, not swap different cabs and etc it's more valuable that way

[@MattKubik1791]

Awesome! I’m glad you were able to keep it all together.
