For Sale: 1957 Chevrolet 3100 in Lavergne, Tennessee

Vehicle Description

Featuring the highly sought-after expanded rear glass, this 1957 Chevrolet 3100 Big Window truck displays classic styling from an iconic American manufacturer. The Indian Turquoise finish gives this pickup a period-correct appearance that perfectly complements its angular lines and distinctive front end. Chrome trim remains in excellent condition throughout the truck, with the bumpers, grille, and window surrounds all showing proper shine and fit. A practical windshield sunshade and high-mounted side mirror add functional touches that match the truck's working-class roots. The 15-inch wheels are color-matched to the Indian Turquoise body paint, while the 215/75R15 tires maintain correct proportions and give this truck a solid stance on the road.

Black vinyl covers the bench seat and door panels, creating a stark contrast against the bright exterior color. A column shifter controls the three-speed manual transmission without cluttering the floor space. Original gauges remain in place, allowing quick monitoring of vital systems. The clever traffic light prism mounted on the dash serves a genuine purpose for city driving - letting the driver see when lights change without leaning forward. An AM radio provides entertainment while an underdash heater keeps occupants comfortable during cold weather. Additional light switches have been added with care to maintain the factory appearance.

Located up front, the 283 cubic inch V8 provides substantial power. The engine sports correct casting numbers (3731548) with an F suffix code that properly identifies it as a 283 displacement unit. Fuel delivery comes via a Rochester single-barrel carburetor that balances efficiency with appropriate power output. A three-speed manual transmission sends that output to the rear wheels in typical truck fashion. The suspension employs leaf springs and shocks at all corners, maintaining the truck's load-carrying abilities. A dual-to-single exhaust system with aftermarket muffler produces an appropriate exhaust note without excessive noise.
