1957 chevy family truck

[lowrodderchev]

Got my rebuilt th350 trans back time to put it in

[tpimuncie]

Oil leaks suck! Hope you get it going soon!

[lowrodderchev]

I'm going to start putting the new tranny in tonight and hopefully get finished up what I don't get done on Monday I miss driving her

[lowrodderchev]

Driving her everyday and enjoying every minute of it

[tpimuncie]

Niiiiiicee!!!!

I love this truck. Great build, great story and it turned out to be one sweet daily driver in the end

[59chev]

Other than the oil pan issue you had, do you have any issues driving up driveways, over speedbumps, ect? I have a rounded curb at the end of my driveway so I'm a little chicken to go too low.

I love the stance your truck has. I also put in a camaro clip and I'm debating how low I can go with a static drop. I plan on running a 4 link on air in the back and stock springs in the front for now. How much clearance do you have at the rocker panel?

[lowrodderchev]

my rockers are 4 inches off the ground I blew the compressor fuse a few weeks ago and drove it low the whole week everything was cool, had to drive slow over speed bumps and come in driveways at a angle. I raised the motor after the oil pan issue and every things been great. sometimes I cruise her and sometimes I drive her hard and fast, but one thing for sure is never get tired of driving her (p.s. please no one tell my wife I call her HER, she gets pretty jealous as it is LOL) thanx guys

What nightmare of a day, drove up to AVS in Fresno for a few air bag parts got lost, I've heard good things about avs but the guy wasn't very helpful and made it seem like I was bothering him(maybe they prefer phone orders) then on the way home dam brakes went out on the freeway I had to move my seat all the,way up just to get a little pedal I coasted it home on the back roads a 30 minute drive took hour to be continued

[RockinKees]

Sometimes it isn't your day...

Glad you made it home save and without damage to yourself or the truck!

Maybe good that you didn't go mad with that "salesman", now you had the state of mind to get you home save!!

Great build Lowrodderchev, killer look you have on your 57. I love the glass bowl look on a big window. I'm from Fresno, do you ever come up to Fresno for shows? We have a show coming up, the Valley Nationals, that's taking place Sat Oct 10th and a run on Sun Oct 11th if you're interested.

It'd be awesome to have your truck up at our show, I'd love to see it in person. Our show is going to be located along the San Joaquin River in the Park Place shopping center @ Plam/Nees. Again, great build
