What a nice, nice truck!  Believe it or not…One family owned since new. Restored with the fine updates you see here in 2006/2007. The truck is not only a beautiful example of the classic 1957 Chevy 1/2 ton, but its very easy, fun, and reliable to drive.
I can’t get enough trucks! And when I get one like this in here I just want to keep it! The ever popular ’55-’59 Chevy truck series are certainly one of the best classic trucks one can ever hope to get ahold of. Why, well, they have the cool, tough classic look we all love of course, but, equally important is, they have room in the cab for actual driving comfort. Love the earlier body styles as well, but as truck manufacturing progressed to this series, use-ability, and driving comfort brought trucks to the forefront for daily use. I may lean a little in favor of these truck as I have personally been driving a ’56 for nearly 30 years, so I know from where I speak… They’re truly an excellent truck.
This particular truck was treated to a frame-off restoration, and a very quality build with the purpose in mind to drive and enjoy it.
All facets of the truck function and perform nicely, and the overall presentation of this truck will draw you in to the point that you will want to drive it everywhere.
The engine and drive train is very strong, the truck drives as well on the freeway, the highway, and around town. It looks great, has the perfect stance, and will garner a mass amount of attention just driving around or at the car shows.
Drive-ability is excellent as there are no squeaks or rattles while traveling down the road.
This is a truck that will look good sitting in your garage/shop, sitting at a car show/cruise-in, and of course, driving down the road. This truck was well built, fully functional, easy and fun to drive, and you’ll get so many thumbs up on the road you won’t be able have both hands on the steering wheel from waving back…Beautiful truck! Remember, I know from where I speak!
