Re: turbo diesel 57 chevy truck

I saw that truck on the front page of one of the diesel mags a couple months back. I think they had a special feature on diesel transplants into trucks that never had the option of a diesel engine. Some nice rigs in there, although I only flipped through it briefly while the wife shopped for groceries.

I've been thinking about doing a Cummins swap into a '58-'59 short box big back window, and this truck has definitely made me start looking for one to do just that, much to my wife's dismay........ Nice truck for sure!

Re: turbo diesel 57 chevy truck

Like everything about it but the stack. IMOA stacks surve no purpose on a pickup but to make it look retarded and create a burn hazard......

I had a '96 Cummins I used to pull a 28' trailer. The trailer was white, and I couldn't stop myself from building the truck up a bit. Long story short, the passenger front side of the trailer would be black with soot after a weekend trip, so I put a set of stacks on it. Not really a fan of them myself, but my trailer stayed white!
