Vehicle Detail

1978 Chevrolet Silverado "Big Ten" 1/2 ton long wide pickup. It was purchased new from King Chevrolet in Tyler Texas on 12-5-1977. I still have the original Texas title issued back in 1977. I have the original invoice when it was ordered new and the build sheet from the St.Louis, Missouri plant. Owners manual and warranty information, even have the original keys and dealers key chain. It was custom ordered with a 350 V8, automatic transmission, am-fm 8 track, deluxe interior with power windows, power door locks, tinted glass, custom seat & deluxe carpet. cruise control, tilt wheel, intermitten wipers, custom steering wheel, cargo lamp, auxillary fuel tank, and the original rally wheels. It has a heavy duty chassis with front & rear heavy duty springs that makes up the "Big Ten" package with a 3250 lb. rear axle & 3:40 ratio rear end. Even came with a Silverado hood ornament and rare stripes on the hood. This is a one owner truck that has been under the carport since new and only driven about 5000 miles in the last ten years. I have all the maintence records to show the dates when the services were preformed from 1987 until now. The total mileage is just over 136,000 miles. It has Mariner blue top and bottom with Hawian blue insert w/hood and top of the cab the same Hawian blue color. It had a fiberglass camper installed just after he bought it and is the same lighter blue color, therfore the inside of the bed is very good and has very little paint worn off and no dents. The only rust on the truck is on the hood where it meets the grill when closed & a little on the bed caps where the camper sat. No other rust anywhere. The paint is original, I just put on new mufflers & installed new white wall radial tires. The last set had a little over 5000 miles on them but where 10 years old. I replaced them so I could show it and not worry about having blow outs. There's a small dent just behind the drivers rear wheel (see picture) it will need a headliner, the original is still in place but sags a bit, the drivers side of the seat has some stiching coming loose. I will store it for up to 30 days in my garage free of charge. Just need the funds to clear before it leaves my possession. You can call my cell at 817-307-8009 if you have any questions. The truck is located on Hwy 75 North of Dallas about 65 miles. You can drive it back home anywhere in the US with no problems. I will include the fiberglass topper & install it back on the truck if the winning bidder will pay the Ebay final cost. Around $150.00? You won't find another truck like this one anytime soon. Relisted with a buy it now price of $4250.00. The reserve is a few hundred less than the Buy it Now price. Good luck & thanks for looking.
