This is a truck I bought last spring to take on as project to restore. Due to health issues and retirement. I'm letting her go. When I bought this truck I felt like it had to be a pro to type of the electric cars. I still think I'm right. I've had people on line tell me that it was most likely a conversation car. If it was it would have had the clutch and transmission mounts visible what I have read is that in 1994 there were 50 vehicles some S 10's some Rangers and one other type of vehicle taken straight off the assembly line and take over to Hughs Aircraft company where the made them with the Electric dolphin electric motors and battery packs installed. They were all leased to electric companies and Universities. These were done under leases in most cases. (In 1978-79 Chevrolet Started the evo sales what Ive read is only about 60 cars were sold. The rest was put into lease programs and leased to mainly electric companies with what GM called a dead end program. Which meant the were taken back at the end of the leases and distroryed so GM wouldn't have to supply parts for these vehicles.) What I do know about this truck was it was sold to and Electric company and then was given to the University of Oklahoma. I do know that a lot of the 78 and 79's were leased to Universities to test. See how many miles on a recharge and basic testing like speed. Every trip was recorded. This truck has a true 5255 miles on it. The spare tire still has the knobbies on it. After testing the truck has just been setting at OU until they decided to sell it, after all these years. I feel like it should be in a museum. It has a 220 volt charging port in the front grill and a 110 volt under gas tank door. There are no batteries which the try for them is under the bed. I also don't have the chargers for it. It really wouldn't matter the original battery were lead acid and the newer batteries are more power and longer charge. Which will take a different charger. I hope someone wants this truck, to keep it for what it was meant to be. I have this truck on other sites, and up for sale locally. I reserve the right to stop the auction at any time. If it makes the low reserve I have on it. I will let it sell on ebay. I've been burned on here by people wasting my time after getting the winning bid. I hope we don't play that game again. I will answer any and all questions about the vehicle. Thanks for looking and good luck!
