Big 10?

on the bed of my truck some one re painted over a sticker that says BIG 10. what was a BIG 10 and what did it consist of?

i know my truck is not a BIG 10 and the Bed is not original. also it looks like that bed side was poorly put on with rivets.

Re: Big 10?

any one know where the RPO codes are on a 74? i really want to know more abought the truck when it was brand new. i plan on restoring it or at least make it close i want to keep it four wheel drive.

the cab is in great shape it has been repaired poorly in some areas great in others i get a feeling it was an abandoned project that was rushed just to get it gone.
