I don't know about any of your other viewers , but you've convinced me that you're too young to know what you're talking about . First off ; when these trucks first csme out , late in the summer of 1972 , we nicknamed them as " Square fenders " to distinguish them from the " round fender " trucks of 1967 to 1972 . They were never called square bodies . Secondly ; it either has straight pipes , or it has glass packs. It can't be both ways . Straight pipes has always meant , that there are no mufflers in the exhaust system .
@midwestmechanics19217 күн бұрын
Everyone would call a 79 a squarebody online so you're in the minority there. "Straight pipe as in true duals with no catalytic converter"

@midwestmechanics1921 I could introduce you to a group of people that were buying these trucks brand new back in the mid seventies that would all call one a square fender . Supposedly this square body BS started with the '81 front end redesign . As for having no catalytic converter , that was the reason for the " Big 10 .when that truck was new , anything over 6001 lb. GVW was exempt. from running cats . The Big 10s came as either 6050 , or 6200 GVWs . I'm not being negative , only trying to keep the record straight . You seem to be having a problem with receiving constructive criticism .

You have to remember the title is simply to get the most people to find the video. Saying I'm too young to know what I'm talking about is not constructive criticism. I'm glad you're at least very passionate about trucks.

it would steer if he rode it properly, you have to lean to the inside and lift that outter wheel off the ground a little bit on the solid axle trikes, thats all. Pretty cool old pacesetter though. I'm into the manco 3 wheelers which are basically built the same way as yours. I have one I'm workin on with a hopped up briggs vanguard on it, inverted fork/billet triple tree/hyd disc frt end on it. little hot rod. Cool vid man, like to see the old American trikes kept alive. You should take it to trikefest one of these years. On these small engine toys, nyloc nuts and blu loctite are your best friends. Every fastener should have one or both. Love to see some more trike stuff.

No, both tires were flat and the one hub is bent that's what it wasn't steering as good 😂

The Big 10 is Chevy's version of the Ford F-150. When the F-150 was first built in 1975, it was an optional heavy duty half ton pickup just like the Chevy Big 10 pickup at the time because the base F-100 pickups were still in production up through 1983.
