1957 Chevy 1/2 Ton Pick Up

Owner: Jay & Lesa (daughter) Location: Austin Tx

Stop and take a look at this old veteran hauler!!! 

1 solid 57 Chevy Step Side that spent its youthful years serving the 

United States Navy.?

In its Battleship gray days, I am sure that nobody ever thought it would be transformed into the beauty, style and show/drive quality that it is today. 

It all rests on a complete and thorough body off restoration of excellent quality.see the pictures!

 The original frame was retained and fitted with a fully independent Chevy Nova front suspension with factory power steering. 

Other desirable road worthy features include adjustable front coil over shocks, power

front disc brakes, 2 inch dropped spindles, Camaro 10 bolt rear differential and more.

Resting under the hood and between those stout rails is a big block powertrain that’s

guaranteed to make a quick get-a-away! Providing plenty of rumble is a 

well-built 455 4bbl V8 (Bore out to a 462 in 2021)

odometer pic shows actual miles on the engine 1223.

equipped with a 3 speed Turbo 400 Automatic transmission.

 hood and fenders into a seamless 1 piece tilt front end equipped with electrically controlled airplane hydraulic-cylinders performing its opening and closing functions. 

Once smoothed, pre-fitted and ready to go, the entire body was professionally finished in a modern base coat clear coat.

The owner/builder purchased the truck in 1999 and after years of tedious construction and lots of loving care, spent many more years showing and placing this beauty. This beautiful piece of art is brought to you by the owner/builder’s daughter who inherited it in 2021. She is selling it reluctantly but wants it to go to someone who will keep it at its optimal performance – and show

it off.
