Building my Daily Driver
History of my 1957 Chevy 3100 Pickup Truck
Where it all began…
I once had a ‘73 Chevy truck, which for the complete pile it was, was a great truck. While on a walk with my folks up at their house in Mountain Ranch I found a Advanced Design GMC short-bed up near my parent’s retirement property, but when I finally got in touch with the owner, it wasn’t for sale. That’s when I decided I needed a Chevy truck that was worth fixing up.

I put the word out with some of my friends, looking for a ‘49-’53 Chevy or GMC. Barely a week later, a buddy told me one of his friends was thinking about selling his ‘57. I couldn’t believe it, and the price was right!
On 10.30.05, I bought it for $500, delivered, with a no-op’d title, and completely disassembled!
