[1974ChevyC10]

Tonite i purchased for the paltry sum of 700 dollars a..........................
1978 Chevy LWB two wheel drive 1/2 ton which currently has a 250 I-6 and a 3 on the tree manual trans.it is burgundy in color with a tan interior,body is very straight except for minor hail damage on the hood,a small dent in the drivers side cab corner(very small almost hard to see with the naked eye) and some really minor dents and dings,no rust,truck is complete,truck currently has 16 inch wheels with 245/75/r16 tires,chrome tube grille,chrome front bumper,painted rear bumper which needs a little work,interior is all intact
seat is good,floormat is good,dash is good except for a few cracks,gauges are all complete and the best part the dash is not cut for a newer radio,truck has a few unusual features in that its a 6 cyl/3spd truck but it has factory a/c,it has heavy duty power steering and power brakes,its a heavy half-does have 8 springs in the rear,has 4.11 gears.overall a good deal for 700 dollars.

my plans for it
get it from tonopah,az where i bought over to the mesa/chandler area or get it over to my dads in flagstaff,az to begin work on swapping over the V-8 driveline and performance parts from my orange 78 to the new red 78.

swap the black wheels on the red truck now for my gm rally wheels.the rally's are off an 84 Chevy originally but im going to buy 78 year beauty rings and center caps so there year matching-may powdercoat them as well.

put a 4 spd manual trans steering column and floorshifter

possibly put brand new seat out of my best friends 84 GMC parts truck since its brand new and has new upholstery and its red.

ok thats all i can think of for now and im tired its been a long day so ill stop here for now.ill try to add some pics of it for your viewing pleasure
