1957 Chevrolet Pickup 3100 short bed body style 2400 miles
This '57 Chevy 3100 pickup with the much desired short bed body style was just recently finished in a frame off rebuilt from top to bottom. Just 2400 miles miles on the odometer since August 2022 when it was completed. The beginning of this adventure started with a very nice original no rust pickup that had been in dry storage for the last 40 years. Minor body work and the truck was ready to be shot in Ford Ultra White with the trim around the center of the cab done in KIA Fiery Red Pearl. The entire under body, that includes inside the fenders, under the cab, inside the engine compartment and inside the bed was done in bed-liner tinted with the same Ultra White that was squirted on the pickup exterior. The original frame was boxed and powder coated. TCI front independent coil-over kit with Wilwood 11" disc brakes stops you in your tracks. Power rack and pinion steering definitely aids in the handling of the little pickup. Dropout transmission mount holds the 700R4 tranny in place. The rear of the frame is C'ed to help in lowering the truck. New parallel leaf springs support the 9" Ford rear end with 3:50 gears. 11" brakes in the rear to match the fronts. And there is a receiver hitch 'hidden' behind the fold-down license plate. Moving this pickup down the road is a completely rebuilt 350 cu. in. Chevrolet small block with Sniper Throttle Body fuel injection.
