Post a true Big10

for those of you have may have never seen one, this is a Big 10, I see them around here, I know of at least 5 of them right now and I owned and drove for a year and that I had to cut up due to major body rot issues:

ive only seen 4 or 5 Bonanzas in my life though, those are a bit harder to find. The above one is combo of both, very hard to find, i have yet to see one combined.

A friend of mine has a '79 big 10 Scottsdale. It has almost everything on it, and it might be roadworthy once again someday. It would probably be a good parts truck for me. The box is draging on the ground right now and the cab isn't very nice either. I see a lot of those big 10's and a couple Bonanzas are around here too. All of them in bad shape though.

Quite a few Big 10's around here.thats a nice one all i would do is add the Rats touch to it,make it fall closer to the earth,some Ralleys,and put a 454 in it.then itd be real sweet!!!and a color change would be in order,or atleast get rid of that middle tone.

Gives me something to look at when I start doubting the look of my truck. WOW!! I still can't believe how good that truck looks. I thought mine was in good condition when I got it. At least now I know what mine looked almost like from the factory.

Are those door panels rare? I have the same ones and really haven't seen them on any other trucks around.
