Hi-boy
OK, here goes. I'm a newby.
I'm starting research to build/or restore a hot rod. I know NOTHING about it , but have built or restored other kinds of cars in the past. First question: What is a Hi-Boy? does it differ from other roadsters? Is there a book that would help me catch up on some of the terminology, or should I just start hanging out on the forums? Appreciate the help, as I know NOTHING!

Wow! Thanks for the help, guys. I think I found the right forum.
Thanks Glenn, it’s believed to be a Gen 5. 454. I’ll see if I can snap some pics of the stamped and cast numbers and post them here. Maybe we can define the year and model
