From Terry :

          This truck is a 1957 Chevrolet Napco 4 x 4.  This truck was bought new in 1957 with the 265ci V/8 and was sent to Napco for the conversion in 1958.

          The truck was used on a ranch in South Dakota until a few years ago. It still has the original paint, engine, and running gear which I have recently rebuilt. It has a small rust area in the bottom of the front fenders that isn’t too bad.

          I will never paint it or restore the truck because I like the patina that it has. I have done a lot of other things like new heater core, wiring harness in the column for the lights, Napco decals and emblems, correct radio antenna, tires, brakes, front panel in bed and so on.

          I lifted the truck 3" from stock with new springs in front and re-arched the rears and made a steering block for the steering arm to keep the drag link level.
