Vehicle Description
When you want the biggest and baddest classic pickup out there,
it's hard to beat this 1957 Chevrolet 5700. This is an
industrial-grade machine everywhere from the big steel wheels to
the cab running lights. And as you look at the full package, you'll
even find a few features that may surprise you.
The '57 Bel Air is an icon but this Chevy is a dream classic for
many of us, too. After all, it still gives you some of the 1950s
stylishness but with the intimidating cab-over stance. It's a true
fantasy truck where the short wheelbase is a custom creation that
takes the classic workman style and fits it into a more everyday
package. So think of it as imposing as an International XT or GMC
Topkick, but with vintage prestige added in, too. This has all the
right classic elements, like top running lights and extra-tall
mirrors. It also genuinely has the right stuff to get to work, like
a dropped trailer hitch, a proper truck bed, a diamond plate
toolbox, and a true dual rear wheel dually. The paint, body, and
details follow the industrial-grade theme, and so we like this
presentation. It's the kind of thing that gives your company
decades of credibility just for writing your name on the side. But
the value price on a build like this means there can also be room
in your budget if you want to upgrade to a showstopper.
The interior keeps the honest and vintage style going. The bench
seats, rubber floor, and simple door panels have a workman attitude
while also looking good. And you have the right vintage features
like the fan-style speedometer, thin/grippy dual-spoke steering
wheel, the classic AM radio for display, and a working heater. This
even has been upgraded to provisions for R134a air conditioning (it
will need servicing to blow cold again.) But we bet your favorite
part will just be the feeling of stepping up high and taking a
commanding driving position that towers over even the SUVs out
there.
Under the hood is a fresher crate V8 installed in 2017. It even
looks like a classic powerhouse with all that Chevy orange on the
block and a round black air grabber. This 350 cubic-inch motor is
quite upgradeable, and today it warms up to be the hardy small
block you know. And the four-speed manual transmission and
two-speed axle give you the full big rig experience.
So if you need the biggest and baddest custom classic, don't let
this one-of-a-kind slip away. Call now!
