1978 Dodge Other Pickups Additional Info:

I'm a collector who got a little carried away last fall on a buying binge and bought too many cars for my storage space. One of them was this cool survivor truck that was acquired from a Dodge truck collector.
A few of the photos on this listing are from last summer when the previous owner had the truck for sale. All of the rest were taken by me today (1/18/2017).
This is a basic all-American truck that could be an everyday driver/work truck or a cool weekender to take to Home Depot... and it certainly won't look out of place at your local Cars & Coffee. The photos tell the story.
The basics:
318 V8 that runs great, starts immediately, idles smoothly3-speed on the tree... column mounted shifterall original paint (getting thin in places but has a nice patina). The top of the cab is painted blackall original interior (except for a newer in dash am/fm stereo)clear glass all around and both windows crank up and down as they shouldsliding rear windowvery clean 8-foot bed with properly working tail gate (bed is excellent as the original owner had a cap on the truck)very little rust... a few pin holes starting at the top edge of the bed, very small spot on lower right side fenderOversized side mirrorsWood side bed railsFront fog lampsGood chromeClear Virginia title
