1978 c10 swb

Found a 78 swb base model last night on the web. The owner states the truck has approximately 65K miles and is virtually rust free. The truck has no A/C, has a ST6 with an automatic transmission. He's asking 2450.00 for the truck. What do you all think? Really wanted a V8, but I also want a clean body too.

If the truck is rust free and original 65K miles, I would buy it. A/C can be added. Engine and drive train can be changed to your liking.

Re: 1978 c10 swb

also the I6 in a 78 doesnt have the intergrated head that was put in the 80's then being replaced by the v6. do you know if its a 292 or a 250? 292 is a little harder for parts to come by. you can always swap in a 350....
