1978 was the last year for new light trucks that ran on leaded gasoline. Dodge had a "heavy half" in 1978 that met the GVW requirements for using leaded. Those were W150's and the regular half tons were W100's and required unleaded.
The manufacturers were playing a lot of games with model names (numbers) that year.
It is also the year that I was able to order a diesel in a full size van, and then have my order cancelled when Dodge decided not to market the diesel.
