1978 Chevrolet Silverado Camper Special

The "Rounded Line" moniker was given by GM to their third generation of the always popular C/K series pickups. This 1978 is a C20 model meaning it is the 3/4 ton version which was heavier-duty, more suitable for towing, had heavier axles, and stronger suspension. Not only that but this one has the Camper Special package which had even stronger springs, shocks and sway bars to increase the maximum payload allowing for the use of slide in campers. The body on it is straight and painted its original two tone light Seamist Green with White which looks good. It also has the rear White multi-windowed camper shell. The glass on it is all good throughout with no issues and is tinted. The trim on it is all in good shape throughout and the grill with lights all have been replaced. It also has a new hood and new fenders. The truck has a heavy trailer package so you can tow with no problem. It sits on a set of aftermarket wheels which are a nice addition and it has chrome center caps.

Mechanically the truck has all been gone through and is in great shape. It has a powerful 454 big block motor under the hood that runs great. It is fitted with Blacked out Chevrolet valve covers, a chrome Edelbrock air cleaner, new water pump, new belts, new oil pan, and new oil pump. It was totally rebuilt 8,000 miles ago and is road ready with a long life ahead of it. Paired with the motor is a Turbo 400 automatic that sends power back to the heavy 14 bolt rear with 4:11 gears. The brakes on it have all been gone through and it has discs up front that are power assisted. The suspension system is all stock but is all functioning properly. It rides down the road well and has plenty of power.

The interior is a combination of cloth and vinyl in its original Green. It has a bench seat with matching Green retractable 3 point belts along with Green door panels and Green carpet. The dash features a stock layout and the dash pad is in good condition. The radio in it is new but has the original appearance. The gauges are in the original bezel but have all been replaced with new Green light gauges. It does come with the original gauges should someone wanted to convert them back. The AC system blows cold and is all brand new. Other very nice features include the power door locks and power windows.

This is a really neat truck that is ready for a new home. It comes with a clear title, book of wiring diagrams, owner's manual and the service parts identification card which outlines all the factory options.
