1967 and newer for Maricopa and Pima Counties in AZ....I do collectors/limited mileage insurance on my trucks, so I don't have to be a part of that scam.

Well then, mine got short changed.
350 with TH350.
 Lol.

Big10 doesnt equal a 454, only the ones with the 6050 GVWR and above could get the 454.  You could could NOT get a Big10 with an I6 also, but it could be had with a 5.0 or 5.7

Kinda sounds more like a Sorta-Big 10, or a Not Really Big 10..... ;)

Correction, F44/Big 10 could only be had with the 5.0, 5.7 or 7.4, I just checked. 
The I6 could be ordered on the 6000 GVWR with F44 spec'd springs and brakes, but only with the Standard 4.1 I6.

Stopped by the scales today.
4620 with 1980's fiberglass wedge cap and my 200# butt.
So 4200# empty, jives.
I was going off the tag in the door (6050#)
Thanks for the clarification.

My first post.  My dad ordered a 1979 chevy short bed big 10 with blue 454 motor in 1978.  this is a one owner truck, in perfect condition as it rolled off the showroom floor.  nothing has ever been modified or changed on it inside or out.  never been painted on and still shines. still smells new inside.  black with red interior.  has had a cover over it, a very good expensive cover, since 1993.  he used to start it every month faithfully.  it has been parked on a lift now for 11 years.  he passed away february 5, 2023.  i am his only child his daughter.  i inherited the truck when he passed away.  This truck is tied to so many memories of my lifetime.  I learned respect for cars and trucks as a child from my dad. i was not allowed to ride my bike within 25 yards of this truck.  I turned out to be a car guy from heck.  (thats not a bad thing lol).  I cannot allow the truck to just sit and rot away any more.  My intentions are to take it down and completely go through all the fluids change, all hoses and belts, brake lines, seals, everything i can and need to do before starting it up again because i dont want to hurt anything on the truck.  It is unbelievebly immaculant.  I joined here hoping to find information to help me get this done.  It just feels like such a work of art to me and i dont want to modify anything i just want to be sure it is not going to find issues from sitting so long so i want to do the best i can.  I also am wondering if there is a way to title it to myself without making it a 2 owner car, because that does matter, but since he died i dont think it is fair to lose that part of it.  if possible.  I look forward to reading as much as i can from everyones posts to see what you have.  Thank you for letting me in.  i will post some pics soon.

Where are the pics?

1979 chevy short bed blue 454 PICS FINALLY
« Reply #22 on: April 06, 2024, 12:13:42 AM »
well i finally got them taken.  got it off the lift and we ended up replacing the headliner, and i suppose the slider back window was installed after he bought it, and also the tarp was intalled after he bought it.  also the air cleaner on the original carb looks to be different.   other than that it is exactly as described.  sorry for the wait but here are some dirty pics.  we will be cleaning it up and taking more pics. YAY


WELL CRAP I DONT KNOW HOW TO EDIT PICS IT SAYS THEY ARE TOO LARGE.

Good stuff...

Is there a story behind your handle?

Curious about a journey if there is one...

yes a 72 stingray was my car to own since i was 7 years old and i finally did own it i had a matching numbers sweet ride with nothing wrong i loved it.  i sold it regretfully, because i had a child and needed larger car  as she got older and i was driving her and friends around i needed a back seat.  i have missed it every day because it was a good one.  no problems with headlights or anything it was pretty.  i had it for about 9 years. at the time i could not afford to put it up and buy a driver, it was my daily driver.  thanks for asking
