Re: Longbike 57 chevy truck build.

Re: Longbike 57 chevy truck build.

Re: Longbike 57 chevy truck build.
lmc truck catalog on line still shows that same picture
do post some pics of your truck out in the sunlight with a nice background so someone can nominate it for truck of the month roll it out in the snow just keep it out of the salt

Re: Longbike 57 chevy truck build.
as if it were possible, your truck looks better in the sunlight
is that stock height? mind measuring to the bottom of the bumper and the fender in front of the door for me?

Re: Longbike 57 chevy truck build.
Nice 57, I just started on my 57 I picked up a week ago planning on keeping it mostly original except for the motor it had the straight 6 in it. Found a 327 engine to install in it. Looking forward and watching your build and enjoying the great work you are doing.

Re: Longbike 57 chevy truck build.
Simply stunning!
No wonder these trucks are icons to this day, huh? If they looked THIS good almost 60 years ago they must have truly blown people's hair back. Wonderful, wonderful truck.
