Re: Does Heavy Half mean my truck is fat?

Heavy Half trucks also got bigger rear brakes, a 2 piece drive shaft, and a double hump crossmember. The bigger weight rating moves the truck out of emissions requirements so emissions equipment is very minimal.

Can you give a little more info on this? I just looked up my VIN and it says
ccl448s161365, so that would make it a Heavy Half according to http://www.chuckschevytruckpages.com/73-87specs.html. I've seen the trucks with the logo BIG 10, but never asked and my doesn't have the decal.

I'll have to go home and check to see what gears it has. It would be cool as hell if it has 373's. But I bet with the auto it wont.
