1957 chevy family truck

Looks great! Your truck has big a huge inspiration for my own build. I started out with a straight axle and recently went to a camaro clip. Your truck's stance is awesome!!

Thanx guys for the comments �� worked on wiring today fun fun really not as bad as I thought but then again I ain't running power yet �� having trouble with my hood latch won't lock right any ideas guys? Thanx

[lowrodderchev]

thought I would add this pic as it has somewhat of a funny story to it that pertains to my truck. my dad is always telling stories (glad I listen even if he retells the same story sometimes ) well one time he and my mom were coming from fresno heading to Tulare (45 minute drive) in the 57 and somewhere outside of fresno the fuel pump gave out. well my dad filled a water bottle with gas flipped it upside down and drove it home stopping every so often to refill the bottle, Tuesday after work i drove around town picking up a few things for my truck when i got 5 minutes away from my house my fuel pump died $45 to tow it when i live 5 minutes away couldn't do it so guess what i did thanx dad .....................

[_Ogre]

nice pic lowrodder
this was taken going down the road at 60mph, my co-pilot looked and thought wow that would be cool...

[lowrodderchev]

NICE SHOT Ogre we should start a hubcap wheel shot thread showed one of my buddies my pic and he said "did you pass out on the floor and take it"

[lowrodderchev]

wow cant believe its been a few months since I posted something line the cab with lowes insulation, with the help of my wife I got the front windshield in and the visor. still having a hard time finding a back window. wanted a new one but the cost of shipping is crazy

[lowrodderchev]

p.s. front windshields aren't fun to put in

[lowrodderchev]

[lowrodderchev]

I bought new clips for the stainless around the door and back of the cab bad/good idea. some fit some don't. back fit but I didn't the crud out of the drivers side and a nice ding on the passenger side because the new clips are to long. lesson learned

[Kim57]

Looking real nice.
The front window looks like it fit real good.
Where is it from?

[lowrodderchev]

Local glass shop was cheaper than online now I'm struggling to find the back glass that's in my budget

[izonme13]

Looks Great!!.....what fuel tank did you use and how many gallon is it? Thanks

[lowrodderchev]

Its a 64 tank I believe its 16 same one most guys use I drilled the top and added a after market sender I hate guessing how much gas I got

[FarmerSid]

Slick looking! Like the steering column from what I can see. What's it from?

[lowrodderchev]

thank you its a stock column shorten and a 56 210 steering wheel. I 2-tone the wheel.

[lowrodderchev]

here's a better pic of the column

Hey WHAT A BEAUTY SHE'S GORGEOUS!!! WOW!! Did you get your back glass yet? I got my windshield from SafeLite Auto Glass (855) 225-3509 they probably can get your rear glass. My wife and I installed my back window because it's a small window and it was easier to tackle. SafeLite charged me $297.63 for everything (coming out to my house, the glass & rubber and install.) http://www.safelite.com

I really like what you did with your mirror that's so kool. Yeah I went to Lowes and the same stuff for the floor it works gr8. I started out with the Reflectix Reflective Insulation but than a friend of mine told about the self adhesive insulation and did the rest of the floor in that.

[lowrodderchev]

no I still need a rear window. only local one is used (scratched) but cant beat the price its hour away from me hoping my brother will pick it up for me but waiting to see. on line its close to $400 with shipping. i'll check out safelite thank you. yeah mirror was a different idea. thought I would change it up. used a corvette bracket but stock mirror.

Man I have been parked on your page for a while now. I am so glad you kept it in the family and sorry about the accident but she still looks killer just a different flavor, NICE.
