ive been meaning to ask this. why is it that heavy half only have the decals on the drivers side? thats how it is on my gmc.

Someone has removed the other side. They said Heavy Half/Big 10 on each side. At least that's the decals I'm guessing you mean.

It probably got hit on the side with no sticker, and the shop that did the repairs was unable to (or chose not to...) purchase a set of decals.

no my truck is all documented and totally original

They forgot to document removing that decal then. Granted, we used to get new cars in all the time when I worked at Hertz, and they'd be missing a fender emblem. Those were just glitches going down the assembly line and poor quality control (was usually mazdas).
Chances are though, it was removed due to that bedside being painted for one reason or another. Or the sticker could have gotten to looking bad and it was just removed.

RandyP · 07-17-2010, 11:17 AM

I've never seen a Big 10 or Heavy Half with 6 lug.

He was wrong. There were no 6 lug C series trucks from 73-87. The K series had them, but not the C's.

big10ratrod77 · 07-17-2010, 03:49 PM

my big ten has no decals from the factory

but yea in a factory some stuff can get a lil mix up i would think probly just missed the decal on that side

oldblue1968chevy · 07-17-2010, 10:05 PM

I think he said the guy that had it said it had 6 lug discs. Ok too bad...

I do like hearing about the odd factory special edition trucks...that 454 373 sport truck is cool!

FYI- All 73-87 had disc brakes. Power disc was optional, but they all had disc front brakes.
