Re: Big 10 what's different?
That was the first question I ever asked here.. I was told it means it has the 8 spring pack and bigger drum brakes... If there is anything else.. I would like to know too!

Generally 3/4 Ton springs, HD shocks, HD brakes (fr/rr), emmisions of a 3/4T..

Re: Big 10 what's different?
The whole idea behind the Big 10 and heavy Half was a higher GVW to be exempt from burning unleaded and/or/no cat converter. I had a 78 big 10.
Our company had them in the fleet, ie. no regular "C10s"
