Re: 1978 big ten build
Man, looking good. I always wanted a "real" big 10 just to say I did. The big 10 had heavy duty rear suspension, brakes, and a towing package. The original owner of mine got the heavy duty rear suspension and brakes but didn't get the towing package, close enough I guess but it's still lacking that F44 option
