Description

Few vehicles in the history of the autoverse will turn heads faster than a well-executed, fully restored classic pickup truck with a few key upgrades. While in the GM realm, 1957 is typically dominated by the iconic Bel Air, this 1957 Chevrolet 3100 makes a strong case that even in truck form, this model year was something special across the Chevy lineup. Fully repainted in this eye-catching bright red, this lowered short-bed truck is drop-dead gorgeous from any angle.

Inside, we find a spectacularly well-done, fully restored, and updated grey interior. A pair of late-model, supportive bucket seats is separated by an aftermarket center console, complete with cupholders and storage. armrest and cupholders. A power-assisted, red-rimmed steering wheel pairs with the red carpeting, sitting just ahead of an Auto Meter white-faced gauge cluster featuring a big 120-mph speedometer, while fuel, water temperature, volts, and oil pressure are efficiently displayed within the chrome V-shaped bezel. An AM/FM/AUX stereo, along with air conditioning offer some modern conveniences, much improved by modern technology.

Under that expansive steel hood, we find a massive 350 cubic-inch V-8 engine. With its primer orange block, powder-coated Chevrolet valve covers, and matching air cleaner, this small block looks fantastic between those flared fenders. Fed by a single Demon four-barrel carburetor and aluminum intake manifold, spent gases are expelled through a true dual exhaust with chambered mufflers. That power is routed through a TH350 three-speed automatic transmission before heading out to a 12-bolt rear end that transfers those ponies to the pavement via a set of polished 18-inch American Racing Torq Thrust II wheels shod in 225/50R-18 Goodyear Eagle Sport tires.
