"way worse"? I'm not sure it could be much worse grin
you need to consider where you're going to find the other half of a 57 truck ....
with no drive line it's not a NAPCO, it's a parts truck that might have a NAPCO front axle, although because that wasn't cannibalized with the rest it's likely no good ....
what's inside the truck doesn't belong to a 57, looks like part of an older front fender ....
it's already had so many parts scavenged, for what's left 'real cheap' would be free, even the fogged glass isn't worth paying for
