The Stovebolt Site Forums The Parking Lot Tons 'o Fun 1957 3800 home town find

I'm brand new to this site and am very excited to get started in sharing my recent project.

I spotted this truck in my home town a few years ago. The more time that went by the more I had to have this truck.

I knew that if I waited too long, i'd miss my chance so I contacted the owner and we settled on a price of $3000. This truck is solid and complete. I will post more pics as work progresses.

So far I've removed the bed and shortened it by two feet. I'm converting it to a dump bed as well.

I plan on painting it Sierra Gold and cream to match my brothers 57 Wagon.

Here is the truck as I found her.

Welcome, 57oneton. Looks like you did all right on that. Is it a 283?

No, it's a 235 which i plan on keeping in it. However, i want to dual exhaust it in the future.

I found my 57 1 ton in Walla Walla, Wa. Seems to be a few up there.
