Can Any Of You Guys Help ? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Hey Guys, Another newbie here. This is one awesome site !

I'm restoring my truck and would like to add a set of "Heavy Half" decals on the bed sides as on the 78 Chevy/GMC's. My problem is I have spent countless hours trying to locate a set and have fell short, Also a lot of time even trying to find a good picture of one. I have a graphic artist lined up to make me a set if only I had a picture.

Doe's any of you guys own or know someone that owns one of these trucks that may be willing to snap me a couple close-ups ?

Thanks for any help....

Talk to LMC

I'm in the same boat only I need the Big 10 decals. LMC no got...

Guys;

Watch eBay, they occassionally come up there. You need to be patient, as I have found several sets of Big 10 decals and picked them up for less than $20.00 shipped. Heavy half decals are not quite as common.

There is a company that advertises in a lot of the magazines that sells the transfers for many cars and trucks. Their add usually has a big TransAm Firebird in the picture, I would look there also.

You are in luck, a visitor of 73-87.com sent me some pics of his truck...and this was one of them. Hope it helps.

Welcome to the forum, glad to have ya.

Sorry to bring this back up but maybe someone else would be interested.

Thanks to bigblock73 (Jeff) for the pic, My graphic artist was able to duplicate it with no problem. Below is a link.

Mayeb so but it looks damm close to me. Plus the only way anyone else can tell the diffrance is if they were right next to each other. Nice work on the decals. Just out of curosity how much are they charging. I don't need em but i did not see a price on the link

That was my thoughts....There are so few of these trucks around that it would be a little hard to pick-up on.

It's in the link as 8 bucks each and it comes right to your door, Since I had such a hard time getting this far I'm getting a couple sets.

Jonboy · 02-02-2007, 09:29 AM

I think the GMC had the "heavy half" decals, and the Chevy ones would be "Big 10".

Are they doing "Big 10" next??

i would like to know about the big 10 decals, to. I have 2 1977 heavy halfs/big 10s. It would be cool if i could slap two of those on my old work truck.

boxrodz · 02-03-2007, 05:11 AM

Using the pic that Jeff posted, I thought I throw some Heavy Half versions together...
from a duplication of the original to a chrome version to a brushed AL version to a colored version to an engine ID version. The combinations could be endless.

88Jimmy4x4 · 03-31-2012, 01:46 PM
