The 1978 Chevy truck has a 13-number vehicle identification number. Trucks were produced at plants across the United States, and in Chile and Argentina. In 1978, Chevy changed the frame to accommodate catalytic converters. The brakes work but pedal is low and light is on. You can buy a … manifold to put throttle body on a vortec, but I think a little pricey. Two-wheel drive and four-wheel drive trucks were available.
