Our organization was just given this truck.
The registrations says "78 Chevrolet Stake" but that does not help me.
What kind of Chevy truck is this? Something I can google with. I need enough information to purchase parts and service manuals. I want to buy a Chilton, Mitchell or Haynes book on this, but I don't know what to call it.
Our group plans to repair it and use it for grounds-keeping and snow plowing.
Thank you, in advance. /Todd
google your vin, it will tell you more about it.
1978 C50 or 60. Probably the HD 350 engine with the HD 4speed.
Looks like a medium duty... 40, 50, 60, or 70... As opposed to a light duty C10, C20, or C30.
Skip the Haynes and Chilton manuals... Get a real service manual (below)

Yes.... that is what I was looking for. Thank you. The Google search on the VIN number did not work. /Todd
Email me directly if you find out it has a tall block 427 please!
Todd,
Google will not tell you anything about the VIN....but ANY General Motors dealer will be able to. It would be best to go to a Chevy dealer, but GM or any other will do.
HTH,
Autumn
