Hy 51chris, according to my copy of 65 years of Chevrolet, a 1954 5700 had a wheelbase of 158" wheelbase, hope that helps.

Of course the hood badge doesn't match. I think, as pointed out, the 5700 had the long wheelbase, 5300 model somewhere around 138"1and the 110" models were 5100's. But you know what they say, "parts is parts."

Chevrolet COE's from 1947 thru 1955 First series came in three wheelbases. 5100 series 110"in. wheelbase, 5400 series 134"in. wheelbase, & 5700 series 158"in. wheelbase. There was not a 5300 series. The picture you post looks to be a 5100 series with 5700 emblems, or a 5700 series that has had the chassis shortened, of changed altogether.
