Some errors on the part of the person in the know....the black "57" isn't a 57. I think it's a '55. As for the question of whether or not the truck is a '71 or '72.....I think it's a '71, based on looking at the mirror NOT being mounted to the windshield.

As for the "host", he sounds like he really likes holding onto the mike......

Thanks for the input ChevLoRay...
I missed the 57 not being a 57. I wonder what else he mis-spoke on? The 71 still has something not correct. And it is...

The horn button?? I doesn't look right to me but it may just be the camera angle/glare.

Ralley wheels were optional with our trucks...........Just kidding. Bingo we have a winner!

I really thought the wheels would be picked first. But then again so many of our trucks have the Ralley's that many think these were an option with our trucks.

Nope. The '57 is a '56. The '57 had hood bumps (kinda' mimicking those on the '57 cars that had rockets in the front tips) and a completely different grill from the '55 and '56. The only really visible difference between a '55 (second series) and the '56 is the hood emblem. On the '55, it was configured more like a "T." This one is definitely a '56.

I have never seen the sport mirrors turned that way. Is that common or is that the other error ???
