    Bought my dad a '79 version of a sorta kinda similar truck in '85. Plainer version with a 6 cylinder and three on the tree but very similar interior. He loved that thing, had always wanted a truck.
    Unfortunately, when he passed in '91 I did not stop my mother from selling his truck. Lots of emotions and all that. I am so glad he had the truck for 6 years. Wish I had it now. A feller misses his dad.

    The Big Ten, was basically known as a heavy half ton. GMC built a similar version they called The Gentleman Jim. It was a heavy package with overload springs and a towing package that you could order with the Sierra Grande, which was the GMC equivalent of the Silverado.

      The GMC version was called Heavy Half. They had a sticker that read "Heavy Half" in place of the "Big Ten" sticker use on the Chevrolets. Both of those were RPO code F44. That option was available with any box configuration, IE, long or short bed and including the step sides. I currently own a '78 Chevy Custom Deluxe short step side that is has the F44 Big Ten option. The GMC "Gentleman Jim'' and the GMC "Beau James" were limited edition appearance package options only available in 1975. Those options could have possibly come standard with the RPO code F44, but I'm not definite on that.

    You can keep from hitting the glass with the spray by spraying the cloth then wipe the dash instead of spraying the cloth. Also noticed looks like you were using a microfiber for that. It works better if you use a cloth that doesn’t absorb as much for that use such as a old t-shirt.

    That is a beautiful pickup!!!
    I had (purchased new) a 72, 73, 76 and 77 Chevy pickups. I loved them all, then started buying Chevy vans and SUVs. The last GM product I bought was a 2009 GMC Acadia. I loved it for about a year, then everything bad started happening to it and I haven't owned another GM product since. GM would not honor the warranty, and I went all the way to the top trying to get help. I'm driving Ram trucks now and have been ever since the Acadia, and I love them.
    Great job Derek!!!

    14:15 That's kinda typical up here in Canada, people will oil their latches and rub the bottoms of their doors and other rust happy spots to keep them "seasoned" as I like to call it. Not too sure how effective it is, but hey, whatever eh.

    Sitting here layed up with a foot problem, so watching some of your earlier work. Noticed the oil on the bottom of the doors on the inside. Thats actually why that truck is rust free. My uncle mixes up oil and diesel fuel and sprays the inside of the doors with it. That way they don't rust from the inside out. Diesel fuel just makes it, so you can spray it. Love the channel.

I've used the Spay Away products for years, love the window cleaner (I have big dogs) ... the Big Ten turned out great ... and the (waxed) hub caps made the truck !

    Just wanted to say sprayway has been the glass cleaner of choice of glass professionals for over thirty years that I know of... Their crazy clean surface cleaner was popular with a few trucking companies too! Now the glass cleaner is available at Dollar general... Most Silverados got tilt/cruise and power windows as well as everything you mentioned. The good old days when you went to the dealer and line itemed the options you wanted, and omitted the ones you didn't. I still remember waiting on my dad's 79' custom deluxe he spec'd to come in to our local dealer!

    That truck is a rare find in this day and age. As an auto glass tech in the mid 80s to early 90s, I am reminded as to how many windshield and door and vent glass I put in these old trucks, not to mention, rear sliders. No way you'll find another in that kind of shape nowadays. Personally, I would have kept it, but I know a guy needs to turn a profit. Beautiful rig.

    Derek: I love these square bodies! Had a 1974 metallic orange camper special! Another vehicle I wrenched on , as I told you about my 67 Pontiac Fire- chicken! I touched every bolt on that truck rebuilt every thing on that truck! Was able to get a camper shell that had all the windows blown out of it, with no rear opening. I was working at a body shop at the time was able to do all the work on it there, it was one of my perks! The other body man and I were life long friends with the owner and his extended family, we were all like minded people! And all part of the extended family it was a great situation! I ended having to get a new big block , long block crate engine from our Chevy Jobber, dealership that we purchased all our parts through back in the day which was around 1980, it cost me $2,400.00 . About a year previous it needed a new trans so it was all pretty fresh! Had it for years till I pretty near wore out! We also was able to purchase a used 19 ft travel trailer that we were able to fix up! Wore that out ! We all started an off road club called So-Cal off road , we had a blast raising three daughters it was about the time when Honda had come out with the three wheelers , then the quads we wore everything out! Lots of maintenance but a great time a lot of kids don’t know what they are missing today stuck in the house with virtual game playing so I enjoy watching you work on these vehicles and doing it with your family! It’s a good thing for Fellers and Fellet’s to do with their family’s! Keep up the good work !
