Re: My 1979 Big 10 Build

This project was started in 2020. I'm using a 1985 frame and bed since it was pretty rust free.

Going back stock except for the 700 R transmission and lower the back 2 inches to make the truck sit level.

Re: My 1979 Big 10 Build

Does anyone have pictures of fuel line routing on a mid 80's 2 wheel drive with drivers side tank only?

Thanks, It is going to be a lot of work but I can't wait to drive it.
I told my wife it will have a bench seat and she is going to have sit right next to me!

Re: My 1979 Big 10 Build

As a owner of a 1978 Big 10, I love this.

My big 10 has a single Passenger gas tank, and yours doesn't appear to have a driver door or way to fill?

Mine is passenger side only but the bed I'm going to use has dual tank fillers.
