Brought this home last weekend. Original V8 57 with a 350 tranny and what appears to be the original rear end. photobucket Want to lower it so bad. Wheels aren't really my style but I may have to keep them on for a while. Need weatherstripping for the doors for right now. If anyone has advice on a vendor for that and info on lowering, I'm all ears. | | | | | Joined: Jan 2011 Posts: 11 New Guy | | New Guy Joined: Jan 2011 Posts: 11 | Good looking truck. I would like to see more pics, under hood, interior, steering column, tailgate (did they paint the letters) ect. I like they left all the emblems, don't know if I will are not. But the way yours looks I just might.
Always looking to see how I want to do mine.

Most of the vendors you will hear around here are JimCarter, Classic Parts, LMC, American Classic. They all have online catalogs. Some give Stovebolters a discount. Mainly, JimCarter and Classic Parts.
Take a peek at the Links section and you will find them. | | | | | Joined: Feb 2010 Posts: 323 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Feb 2010 Posts: 323 | Nice 57! My son is working on a 57 and will be jealous.
These old bolts are in my blood. Hard thing is focusing on just one.

Lovely looking truck although I do agree,it needs a slight 'altitude adjustment'.
Take your question to the Hi-Po section and you'll get more input re; the lowering. Not everyone checks in here.....
