Born in East LA- 57 Chevy 3100

[roberts57]

Well here it is. My "born in East LA" 1957 Chevy SWB 3100. In 2009 I purchased it, from a guy in east la for 1500 bucks. The picture is how it sat the day i bought it. It was all complete with very little rust, he even had a grille (now wall art in my garage). Then asked my dad to go in halfsies! 1957, factory v8, built in Los Angeles, small window, the motor in it when i bought it as a 283 from a 58 (unfortunately not orig). Plan is to drop in a 350, tci mustang II front end, drop leaf in the back. Paid the cash, took the title and I was off (apparently I forgot I know nothing about mechanics, body, etc.) about all I know is how to change oil!

3 years later I met a guy who let me keep the truck at his shop. His body man has been working on it in his spare time since 09/12. So far quite a bit has been done and a whole lot of new parts! Ill try to catch you guys up in the next few weeks. Most of the bodys done, blasted, frame off, mII cross member is on.
