New guy, just got a 57 Chevy truck

[Russell Ashley]

Hello everyone, My name is Russ, from Lawrenceville, Ga. I recently bought a 57 Chevy so I'm glad I found this forum. I've been a regular on the 61-71 Dodge truck forum for a long time but decided I wanted a new (older) truck. My truck is in pretty nice condition but needs a few cosmetic and mechanical upgrades. It's already got a rebuilt 350, a 12 bolt rear, and five lug Corvette wheels. It runs out good and made the 90 mile trip home from where I got it with no trouble. My plan is to do the mechanical upgrades like power steering and disc brakes before any cosmetic upgrades. Ultimately it will be light blue with whitewall tires, with chrome bumpers and grill. Here's a couple of pics of it when I got it.
