I know this is a 55-56-57 thread but since meter swinger showed you some 58 and 59 trucks, I thought I'd share a photo of my '58. Over the years I've had everything but a 57. Someday I'll own one. I really like the 57 grill and hood.

Here is mine and a work in progress. Managed to get the unknown 5 bolt rear end out of it this weekend and working on the stop parts.

Re: 55-56-57
..If you had a choice in the 55 or 56 or 57..and all in pretty much the same condition and price..which one would you choose to rebuild and WHY ??
This is to anyone reading this thread...Thanks |
Re: 55-56-57
I've owned both a '55 (now) and a '57 before (10 years ago). Essentially, there is NO difference other than the grille and hood on the '57.
For myself it would be a '55 because my Dad bought a new 1955 Chevy two door hardtop Belair that I inherited from him when I turned 17 and I was GALACTICALLY STUPID enough to prefer a van - DOH! He also had a '59 Fleetside so I wanted a combo of both...hence a '55 Task Force. Besides I like the egg crate grill, though I would have zero problem owning a '57 again. In the true "same condition" you will pay more for a big window than a small window. Probably also true of a '57 over a '55/'56, but you'll find out |
Re: 55-56-57
I would choose a 57..............Only because I have one:lol: I really like the tri-5's and would be happy to own any of the three years.

My best advice is do NOT decide what you want in advance if you truly don't have a preference because you'll simply pay more and likely not get as good a deal. Start shopping for '55-'57's (I'd include '58's & '59's but I prefer Fleetsides), then buy the most complete, most rust free truck you can find. Unless you're restoring, need an immediate daily driver, or have no room for a non-running vehicle (my situation) being driveable will only make you pay more. Looking for someone else's abandoned project in a remote area is also a potentially great deal but beware the guy that thinks he's going to get back every dollar he put out for an unfinished truck. |
