1957 Chevy Truck-BARN FIND!!

1957 Chevrolet Other Pickups Description

This original V8 1957 3200 Chevy truck has been hiding in the back of my shop since 1993. It backed in there under its own power and has not seen the light of day since. I have lost interest since to do anything with it. I drove it as a daily driver for 6 years and I know the previous owner who drove it for 5 years before that. It appears to have all the original sheet metal and glass and of course the original "V" emblems indicating an original V8 model.
Interior is decent with Jazz Pro Seats, carpet, padded doors, in-dash radio with amp and speaker boxes behind the seat. I also upgraded the round"California" heater with the deluxe heater system.
Exterior is in good condition as well. It has a little bit of paint bubble in the typical rear cab corners but no where near rusting through.Oak woodbed was redone as a high school shop project way back when and is still in restorable condition. It also has a custom cloth tonneau cover. Not gonna fool anyone here it does have a few areas of small wrinkles to roll out of the sheet metal and they are small enough that Bondo will not be needed. It is painted gray not primer.
Running gear: original front and rear axles and 4 speed manual transmission.The original 265 V8 was getting very tired so I had a 406 small block built with 4 bolt mains, 260 cam, small B&M blower, tube headers, Holly Pro-Jection, Mallory Unilite distributor and a custom monster radiator. I can safely say this engine although not turned over since '93 at best has 3000 miles on it.
I hate to see it go as it was myfirst car and it got me through high school and college but if I haven't touched it since I doubt I ever will. So it needs to go to a good home that has the time to bring it back to life.
