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

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

Yes.... that is what I was looking for.  Thank you.
The Google search on the VIN number did not work.

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
