parts receipt history An attention-getter, MotoeXotica Classic Cars
is proud to present this 1957 Dodge 100 Stepside Custom Half-Ton
Pickup Truck. This particular example was built in Chrysler's
Detroit, Michigan factory.� Since then, a whirlwind of change has
happened to this truck.� This awesome Dodge Pickup has had the same
owner since 2004, 14 years. Dressed in a gorgeous orange metallic,
the truck's paint and trim are in overall excellent condition, with
only slight blemishes visible upon close inspection. The truck's
windows are clear and intact, as are the truck's lights, which are
haze-free and look good. The truck's bodywork is straight and
solid, its bumpers fit well to the body; the engine bay and cargo
bed both are in above average condition. The truck's bed has wood
pieces mounted on the outer walls and wooden steps for bed ingress
and egress and a brown bed cover embossed with the Ram logo. In
addition, the bed has a dump hydraulic tilting mechanism. This
truck rolls on blackwall radials, Kuhmos, size 205/75R15 in front
and Prime Wells, size 235/75R15 in back. Each tire surrounds a full
moon wheel cover. The tires and wheels are both in very good
condition. Under the hood is understood to be a 318 CID V-8 engine
with a four-barrel carburetor, backed by a Torqueflite three-speed
automatic transmission. Driver convenience features include power
steering, power front disc/rear drum brakes and power seats. Inside
is a custom matching interior. The bucket seats are in very good
order, as is the matching carpet. The headliner is in satisfactory
order. The three-spoke aftermarket steering wheel is in excellent
order, as is the instrument panel with its full array of TPI-Tech
custom gauges and an aftermarket tachometer under the dash. The
inner door panels are in very good shape. The center console looks
great and echoes the theme set by the rest of the interior. On the
floor between the sits is a B&M shifter. Unlike the B Series,
which were closely related to Dodge's prewar trucks, the C Series
was a complete redesign. Dodge continued the "pilot house"
tradition of high-visibility cabs with a wraparound windshield
introduced in 1955. A two-speed "PowerFlite" automatic
transmission�was newly available that year. To keep up with the
cars' styling, the trucks received "The Forward Look," pioneered by
Virgil Exner. The front fender lines extended forward, "Frenching"
the headlights. The effect was to evoke motion even while the truck
was stationary. The trucks received a new front clip, hood and
front bumper. The hood had two open positions, 45 degrees for
regular maintenance and 90 degrees for full serviceability. The
company also adopted the standard pickup truck numbering scheme,
also used by Ford and GM at that time. Thus, the half-ton Dodge was
now called the D100. Competition to this Dodge in 1957 included
Chevrolet's 3100 series "Task Force" pickup, Ford's venerable F-100
and F-150 pickups and GMC's "Blue Chip" series pickup trucks.
