Nice 1978 on ebay
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Chevr...c20c5941#v4-42
Something is a little funny about it though. Bottom tailgate band is on upside down, the lower bed panels don't match in color, something is really strange about the pass. bottom cab alignment with the bed. Other than those little things, it seems beautiful. I like the color combo for sure.

Re: Nice 1978 on ebay
The lower trim is pretty noticeable upside down but other than that I love that truck! Green on these trucks don't look well to me but for some reason I just like it!

Re: Nice 1978 on ebay
Nice truck,
The bed maybe off a newer truck. I don't recall dual fuel doors on a SWB in 78.

Re: Nice 1978 on ebay
79 was the first year for the fuel doors. Did a lot of research on that before I bought an 84 bedside for the fuel door.

Re: Nice 1978 on ebay
It's a nice truck but has had something done on it. Notice the fender trim screws on the front are aged and a little rusty, but the rear ones aren't. There appears to be some green overspray inside the wheel wells and the lower paint panel certainly looks a shade off on the bed. Still a good looking truck.

Re: Nice 1978 on ebay
Lacking the toggle switch for fuel tanks?

Re: Nice 1978 on ebay
This is what i see: Is there a right side fuel tank?
Front fenders have been replaced with non gm fenders. looks like a cruise button but no front inner fender mounted related cruise equ.

Re: Nice 1978 on ebay
No where near all original. What about the '79/'80 hood?

Re: Nice 1978 on ebay
This is what i see: fuel switch hard to tell with the ash tray open. Window cranks look ok. steering is a replaced wheel. Over spray solid paint on the vin plate (drivers door)
. It looks like a truck i would consider bidding on.

Re: Nice 1978 on ebay
thought i could see (gas)chrome switches below the radio
but did notice the trim and that the area behind the drivers door is the same as the lower of the bed but on the other side same darker i'd bet hit from behind into the cab.... and if your takin pics to sell it why not fix the door guard...unless it would show something else outa wack ?

Re: Nice 1978 on ebay
its a nice truck but I really don't think its all original like the listing states
"The paint on this truck is near perfect. There is no rust or bondo on this truck at all. All body lines line up great." some of the body line are off and the lower green has two different colors that's not near perfect at all, its nice for 34 year old |

Re: Nice 1978 on ebay
Pass side cab corner looks highly questionable as to whether or not their is a decent amount of bondo there to me. The fact that he claims "no bondo" on a 34 year old vehicle would make me wonder anyway. Even good body men use body filler. They just don't use it beyond its intended purpose.

Re: Nice 1978 on ebay
No passenger side fuel tank, but there is a filler door.

Re: Nice 1978 on ebay
Someone please help me understand the whole "one owner" nomenclature....
Wouldn't "one owner" be the original owner? He states "...only has had one owner since 1978!". Then he says "...I purchased this truck from a dealer friend that took it in on trade from the original owner.". That makes him the third owner, according to my math. :??: K

OK, Both had ownership....A title is only "Proof" of ownership. These guy's being dealers can drive any vehicle without a title transfer, Who knows either didn't for a year or two, wrecked it then had it pieced back together ?

Re: Nice 1978 on ebay
That guy is full of it, every sentence in that auction is an outright lie and the pics prove it. You can't say they paint is perfect if obviously doesn't all match, and you can't say no rust if there's a bunch of rusty rock chips. Looks like an older fixer-upper project that someone is trying to get rich off of.
