I have for sale a good running and driving 1957 Chevrolet 3100 1/2 ton, shortbed, stepside pickup. It has a non-original 6 cylinder engine that runs and sounds good. The original 3-speed manual was replaced by a 2-speed powerglide by a previous owner. The truck is very solid and I have not found any rust other than some very minor surface rust underneath. The wood bed is in great shape. Brakes are good. Pretty smooth ride for a '57 Pickup. The radial tires are in great shape and has classy modern rims. The paint is metallic grey and looks great. Very close inspection reveals the underlying prep for paint could have been better. The interior was nicely redone in grey cloth and the dash and doors painted. There is a towing ball on the rear bumper. The following all are working: radio/cassette, wipers, all lights, horn, heat/defrost fan, guages(amp, oil press, fuel ga), windows and vent windows operate well, trans shifts good. These are not working: turn signals(trying to diagnose that), temp ga. This truck has a near new gas tank.
As you can see in the photos, this is a very nice looking and very solid '57 Chevy truck. The truck can be driven right away.
Please feel free to ask any questions. Personal inspection is encouraged. Sold in As-IS condition.

Pushing Back: GM expanding Chevrolet into Korea, Daewoo out
Thu, 29 Apr 2010Chevrolet Camaro goes to South Korea - Click above for high-res image
General Motors decided several years ago to begin heavily promoting Chevrolet as its global mainstream brand even in markets where its existing brands like Opel and Daewoo were a dominant force. Today, at the Busan Motor Show in South Korea, GM Daewoo president Mike Arcamone announced that the Camaro would lead the way in GM's efforts to market Chevrolet in South Korea.
For now at least Chevrolet and Daewoo-branded vehicles will coexist in the Korean market. However, while we were in China last week GM officials told us that the Daewoo brand, which has been somewhat tainted by past quality issues, would eventually be phased out in favor of Chevrolet. When the new Aveo launches next year it will likely be badged as a Chevrolet even though GM Daewoo is in charge of engineering the car.
Chevy confirms Corvette Stingray Convertible for Geneva
Thu, 07 Feb 2013Want proof that General Motors has increased global ambitions for its 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray? It's staging the world premiere of the model's convertible variant at the Geneva Motor Show early next month.
As previously rumored, the droptop rendered above will debut at the Swiss show, making its first appearance anywhere on March 5. According to Susan Docherty, president and managing director of Chevrolet, the location makes sense because Corvette "...is an icon that has long been recognized and admired even in countries where it's never officially been offered."
While neither Chevrolet nor the Corvette has a major sales presence in Switzerland, the Bowtie's European headquarters is located in Zurich (about three hours to the northeast of Geneva) and GM has made it clear that it wants to build the Chevrolet brand up across Europe.
GM recalls full-size truck, SUVs and vans over faulty shifter mechanism
Mon, 07 Jan 2013Twelve different General Motors vehicles from the 2013 model year, up to 54,686 units in total, are being recalled over two potential issues with their steering columns. The models in question, all full-size trucks, SUVs or vans, are the: Cadillac Escalade, Escalade ESV, Escalade EXT, Chevrolet Avalanche, Express, Silverado, Suburban, Tahoe, and GMC Savana, Sierra, Yukon and Yukon XL.
The affected vehicles were built with a fractured parking lock cable or "a malformed steering column lock actuator gear in the lock module assembly." As a consequence, they could shift out of park without the brake pedal being applied or with the key removed or in the off position.
A bulletin from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration indicates that the recall should begin on January 17. GM will notify owners, at which time they can take their vehicles to their dealers for repair free of charge. Have a look at the bulletin below for more information.
