Description

I am offering a 1978 Chevy 1ton Dually pickup for sale. I have owned it for over 25 years. I used itvery little during this time, probably under a 800 miles a year. used it to tow a goose neck trailer but not very often. lot of sitting time. I rebuilt the 454 when I got it. Considered a 462 now bored, pistons, cam, rings, oil pump, valves, timing chain and all else related.This engine has under 10,000 miles on it since overhaul. This was done about 1994. It runs very strong and sound. It needs carburetor gone thru and wires but still runs great.
As seen in pictures it need body restoration, rust in rockers fenders and little inside on outside floors. The rear fender flares are really good and original. The glass is good except for windshield. The rear sliding window is good. It has AC complete but not working. Power steering works very good all part of hydro-boost system.The dual exhaust is still pretty good and sound good.
The radiator is good with antifreeze and not showing any leaks.
It has 2 fuel tanks both good but only hooked up for one right now. It needs the switching valve replaced that the hoses connect to under the truck. The rocker switch on dash and gauge works . At this time all dash gauges work, speedometer jumpy, lots of miles (130,000 or so)
A electric fuel pump is used on the pickup at this time, original not pumping.Has original style distributor.
The brakes are good at this time but as said gets a lot of sitting. It has hydro-boost brakes and works good showing no leaks.
The tires are 17.5 and very few miles but have been on for a number of years all matching and never sit flat. As shown in pictures it has stainless wheel trim kit on it and was on when I got it. Has no spare wheel.
The rear end is dry and has never given any problems and quiet. The Transmission had some work done to it many years ago and is good and solid quiet, no problems jumping out etc. Clutch good replaced many years agoTruck has hardly been used last 5 yearsAt this time lights all work.The interior need to be redone but everything on this truck is available easily. Seat is original. It has a am/fm delco radio. Has tilt wheel steeringBody still has all the stainless trim on it.It is a C30 Scottsdale Camper specialThe hood has been pushed down dry to many times and is bent. ANOTHER HOOD GOES WITH TRUCK THAT IS GOOD not pictured.
The pickup drives very good and tight had new shocks a few years back, very comfortable to drive.
