Vehicle Description
The first major redesign since 1947, the Chevrolet "Task Force"
pickup was built for the second half of the 1955 builds. This would
be the first time that a light duty civilian truck would be offered
with a V8 and other assorted car-like amenities such as power
brakes and steering. Not to mention the styling was a world apart
from the previous "Advance Design". This particular really cool 57
is finished in a really cool 80's Brown Metallic with the
appropriate period correct wheels and white letters out tires which
happen to be new. This has a 350 V8 out of a more modern vehicle
like 1970's or so. Keep in mind that this car was restored and
painted in the 1980's so it is not perfect. Very cool, but not
perfect with some paint imperfections that I tried to take pics of.
This is a very good driver with excellent mechanicals and even has
power steering. The interior was a custom job for back then and
shows just fine for what it is. The rear curved glass is in very
good condition, the bed, the engine bay is in very tidy order. I
particularly love this truck as it starts, idles, shifts and runs
down the road really nice. The pin striping and lettering is all
hand painted, not stickers. The underside has some surface rust on
some of the steel as can be predicted but overall is in very good
shape with no rot anywhere. This would make someone such a cool
cruiser or with a little bit of cosmetics a great show piece. These
1955-1959 trucks are hard to come by as most of them were used up
on the farm and discarded when they either died or rusted away in a
field. They don't make any more of these so get them while you
can.
