What years did Ford make highboy trucks?

The term “Highboy” has been used to refer to the 1967-1977.5 Ford F-250 4X4, although 'Highboy' wasn't actually a Ford term. The early 4X4 pickups were conversions of a 2WD chassis.

By definition, the Ford Highboy must be a four-wheel drive F-250 produced between 1967 and 1977.5 with a divorced transfer case (either Dana 24, NP203, or NP205) which caused the front end to sit higher. To compensate for this extra height, Ford installed 4-inch lift blocks in the rear to even things out.
