Since about 4 years back that I saw my first I wanted a classic pickup! And since then I was dreaming about owning and restoring a classic pickup. After a bit of research into classic pickups, I found that I really liked the Chevy pickup. And about a week back I found one, a 57 Chevy 3600 pickup, that I will be collecting next week. Some photos for the photo lovers! I got them from the current owner. 57_Chevy 57_Chevy 57_Chevy 57_Chevy 57_Chevy 57_Chevy | | | | | Joined: Mar 2007 Posts: 4,215 Moderator | | Moderator Joined: Mar 2007 Posts: 4,215 | Welcome Domenique, nice find. Are those Canadian built Chevies? I think most righthand drive vehicles for export were assembled here rather than from the US.
Hope you can find any parts you may need. Don't be shy about asking questions if you run stuck, we are here to help.

I have no idea from where the pickup is originally.
When I went to go look at the pickup I saw that all the trim was still on and for interest sake I pulled out the oil stick and saw there was still oil.
I have no clue when it comes to cars, so not sure if it will run or anything!

The VIN plate should tell you where it was made.

I tried to find out on Google, but to now avail.
Some say one way and others say the other way! Now who to believe?
Maybe someone can help me on this? | | | | | Joined: Mar 2007 Posts: 4,215 Moderator | | Moderator Joined: Mar 2007 Posts: 4,215 | Domenique, try posting this in the body shop or in general truck forum.

Bill Thanx guys! And thanx for the welcome! | | | | | Joined: Mar 2008 Posts: 3,750 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Mar 2008 Posts: 3,750 | Hi Domenique,sorry i'm late but welcome to the Stovebolt.
It's always good to see another 'International' 'bolter joining the ranks.
Seeing your new truck is right hand drive puts you in a pretty exclusive club.
These are particularly rare,even here in the UK.
Most of the Chevys here are personal LHD imports from the USA.
Good luck.
Jock.
