1957 Dodge Stepside PU: a Meticulous Modernization
This Dodge C100 pickup sits on a 1979 Little Red Express chassis and brings with it the ride and amenities of today’s nicest pickups: AC, front disc brakes, peppy V-8, 3-speed automatic transmission, bucket seats and a modern Sony sound system. And all with a ‘57 body that looks like it just came out of a Dodge showroom. The great styling combined with the near-perfect paint and upholstery makes it a truck that you will enjoy taking anyplace you wish to go—be it the Home Depot or to a show or on a cross-country trip! And you will receive envious looks from fellow truck enthusiasts when they see this rare pickup in such perfect condition.
Fully Restored . . . and Fully Modernized
This 1957 has been meticulously restored and updated to insure its reliability, safety and comfort. It is equipped with:
Careful workmanship from Top to Bottom
The Burgundy paint on this C100 is nicer than when Dodge first sent it to the dealership, and the body is in excellent condition.
The completely refinished pickup bed gleams like new and the side rails display excellent woodworking craftsmanship that is also found in the cab.
The underside is clean and free of rust (other than surface rust) and because it was a frame-off restoration, the painted frame gleams like new. [Please see pictures.]
The two-tone tan bucket seats add a fresh look to the cab, and blend well with tan door panels and headliner. The new gauges are mounted in a custom wooden dash, and the modern Sony sound system is cleverly mounted in the glove box along with the AC/heat controls.
The 318 V-8 starts at the turn of the key and performs as it should: smoothly and with plenty of power to move this ½-ton pickup as well as whatever you choose to put in the pristine wooden bed. The engine was fully rebuilt (bored .30 over with a mild hydraulic cam) less than 1,900 miles ago.
The 3-speed TorqueFlite© automatic transmission shifts properly and makes driving a pleasure—even in traffic.
The front disc power brakes enable this pickup to be used safely in town as well as on the Interstates.
All of the safety features (lights, signals, horn, wipers) on the Dodge work, and the 3-point seatbelts add an additional element of passenger safety,
The convenience items include: modern air conditioning and heating, bucket seats, power steering and brakes, power windows, and a Sony AM/FM/CD sound system.
An Outstanding Example of a ‘57 Dodge Pickup, Modernized for today’s driving needs
There are two words that can best describe this 1957 C100: Virtually Flawless! It will take you where you want to go, whether it’s a trip to a local cruise-in/car show or a trip to the beach. If you’re looking for a reliable, comfortable and great-looking pickup that will turn heads, don’t miss this one.
