hi i saw ur 57 chevy and is nice ..well i got a 57 pickup too and i wonder ,if u can help me out ,on this, i wanted to use a single door glass but i don't know what to use for the window regulator ,, can u help please thanks
@TheCervesa we used the factory vent windows with the windows in the door, the window regulator is factory, they do sell a window regulator for a single window from LMC Truck.
thats an awesome truck! i just got a 55 like yours for 600 dollars, what a steal huh, im taking out the old 235 today, and getting ready to put in a 62 corvette 283, good luck on the rest of your build!
@slipsonic i have a 55 just like this one and it has a straight 6 in it i a have a 350 to put in it how will it handle with the straight axle in the front or do you think i should change it???? any info will help its my first restoration on a truck this old
@67chevy350 well, I think it depends on what you want to do with it, the straight axle is plenty heavy enough to handle the weight, and it will haul ass in a straight line, but if you want to corner at all youll want to change things up a bit, most people put these trucks on a car frame if they are gonna rod them out, I cant remember what frame they use, in this situation, google is your best friend :), I personally am going to leave mine a 3/4
@slipsonic alright thanks mine is the half tone but its probably like the same thing somebody told me to put it on a s10 frame but idk that truck is heavy and a s10 frame is not vary heavy made
@ReaganPatriot Wow, well thank you very much, its a lot of fun to restore and if you do buy it and need help with it just ask!, thanks for the compliment!!!!!
@57danjr its a '55 with a 57 hood and 56 emblems (only because they had the V8 emblems and 55 didnt) the hood was because i thought it had a more 57 feel to it since almost every single car in 57 had fins.

Beautiful 57 Chevy! Keep posting! Is it a 57? or is the hood just from a 57?
