I have a Big 10 78 with Heavy Duty Federal emissions. Since yours is a Big 10 all you would need is a PVC valve and a 3 port thermal vacuum swich on the thermostat housing. I think, 78 was the last year big 10/heavy halfs got away with out having a cat on them.

I don't know. I wouldn't think they would. I don't know much about them since we don't have them here, but I would think they just have a computer base on what your model of truck should have. Not what it has done last year, etc.. So if you changed something I don't think they would really know.
