Re: 57 GMC how rare??

Around this area it was the GMC trucks that seemed to get loaded with all the options rather than the Chevy trucks. I had a 57 3/4 ton with the deluxe cab and big back window ten years ago but the truck was too rusted out for me to fight with as much as I like big window 55/59 trucks. That one had belonged to my mom's companion for years and had a 283 and powerglide in it and a top speed of about 50.

Rare only counts if you are restoring one to showroom stock though. the minute you start modifiying it you just took the rare out of it.

48 Chev 3100 that will run a 292 Six.
71 GMC 2500 that is getting a Cad 500 transplant.
77 C 30 dualie, 454, 4 speed with a 10 foot flatbed and hoist. It does the heavy work and hauls the projects around.
