if its registerd as a farm truck you would be exempt. if your buying this havent you popped the hood and looked. also a haynes manual of those years should show you what emissions were on there

Few if any changes were made between 77 and 78 model years as far as emissions were concerned. Smog pump and EGR should be the only things as far as emissions go.

try not to go at night . day light makes it easier to see not only under the hood but the condition of the rest of the rig.
