I've heard before that some of the Big 10's were able to run on leaded or unleaded fuel. Anyone have any details on that...what years/what was diffrent?

I think it is just a matter of the Big 10's not having catalytic converters. Someone else on this board did a nice write up on the Big 10 that basically said the Big 10 package was just a way to get around emissions standards which had recently been implemented for light trucks. I was a kid when regular leaded fuel was still sold, but I seem to remember that it would clog up the catalytic converter on "new" cars. Other than that, any car will run on regular gas.

I enjoy these old adds. The Big 10 pictured in the first add is pretty much identical to how my truck looked from the factory. That color scheme is number 25 Catalina blue and number 20 Sky blue.
