Short box - step side very rare survivor It runs and drives great. The heater works nicely, all the lights work- no blinkers, as you can see has a great patina and ready to roll. Brand new windshield and seal. Starts right up and runs great. Get in, start up, and go down the road in style. We have been using this ‘57 as a yard work truck and having fun with it. For 1957, a number of visual changes were made: The former egg-crate grille was changed to a more open-mouthed design, with eight bars holding an open trapezoid in the center, and a pair of windsplits appeared on the hood. Dished steering wheel, safety door locks and strikers, and a more rigidly mounted rear axle (using threaded spring shackles instead of the center-draw-bolt type used previously) were among the other improvements it's the one-year grille that makes the '57 so popular. Today, with their highly styled shapes and small-block-Chevy interchangeability, the 3100-series pickups' popularity is such that, much like any number of Mustangs or muscle cars, you can almost build virtually an entire truck out of a catalog if you so choose. Save for the engine, exhaust, and a few bits and baubles here and there, nearly everything is reproduced for the pickups--from the biggest steel hood and fender components down to the most insignificant gasket. "Beyond that, the mechanics are really solid. The 235 Chevy was the best six they built; Chevy made it for so long they perfected it.
