Re: V8's in TF trucks
As far as I know the 283 was available in both cars and trucks from day one of 57 production. The 265 was available as an option and maybe more readily available at the start of the year.
I was an 11 year old car freak when they came out turning 11 in November of 56 and remember going down to the local dealer to see the new 57's on the first day they were on display. Older guys remember that the dealers would hide the new models in the back not showing them until he morning that they officially went up for sale. Show room windows covered up until the dealership opened and a it was a big deal. that was up though the 70's for most brands.
