78 super wagon?

My cousin just got a 78 super wagon van with a 460 and I was wondering what size gas tank they had in them and what axle was under them? thanks

Super wagon, I'm goin to assume you are talkin about a 15pass club wagon... IT should be about 22 gallon fuel tank, and with the 460 it's probably a 4:10 gear.

It's either a 60 or 70.... I can't remember. MY '83 had left hand lugs on the left side, and I think it was a 70.... I don't remember what we had under the '82...

The only real way is to get the code from the sticker, and have the dealer look it up.... You might be able to tell from the decoders here....
