They stopped making heavy halfs and big 10's when the federal emission gvwr break went from 6000lbs to 8000lbs. I believe that started on the '80 model year. You could get a half ton with a gvwr over 6000lbs without the heavy half or big 10 stickers, that may be what you have. My '77 has a 6000lb gvwr, but it's not a heavy half or big 10.
