Here was my grandfathers dually its mine now I got this dually because my grandfather was killed in October in a car wreck. But I wanted this truck because my great-grandfather bought this truck new in 1978 and I didnt want my grandmother to get rid of it plus it has lots of memories with it and the some of the good times that me and my grandfather had. It on has 57,000 miles on it and all we have used it for is to haul the cows to the stockyard. So those are farm miles. It has the 454 engine with a 4 barrel carb. Its a pretty big old truck but it is still in good shape its not all beat up. The only thing wrong with it is the tail gate got bent last year. This truck is a 1978 Chevrolet Silverado C30 Crew Cab Long Bed Deluxe Camper Special 1 Ton w/ Trailering Special Package.
