Let's see -- 78 should be a TH-400 three speed, not a 700R4. If it does have a 700R4 you'd better get that cable replaced! If not it will burn up the trans. The 700R4 uses a throttle valve cable that does double duty as a kick-down cable. 
 
If it's a TH-400 it should have a vacuum modulator for shifting and I believe the only purpose of the cable is for a kick-down. 
 
I'm with you -- sounds like the "mechanic" working on the truck doesn't know what he's doing. Might just be because it's an older vehicle without a computer. I'd take it to another shop and tell them you think it needs a good tune-up. If they find anything else they'll let you know!
