I think that this would be a fun truck to own and drive on the weekends. This one has an “Edelbrock torker aluminum intake manifold and Edelbrock four barrel carb”. Obviously I’m not tuned into the appropriate car culture in 2018 that would have a black engine compartment and interior on such an otherwise cool and colorful truck. I think it could use some color in there, too, but that’s just me. Here’s where a lot of the fun part comes in, this “strong running 327 ci Chevy V8”. There is almost no information given at all as to how this truck functions other than “vehicle is sold as a running and driving project”, but they do say that it’s “fun to drive” and that’s pretty important. But it has the essentials, or essential, which is a Hurst floor shift 4-speed manual transmission. I would loved to have seen a similar color to the exterior on the inside, it’s a bit dark in there. Speaking of that, here is Scotty G’s pro parking tip: always park in the first spot on the downward side of a cart corral in a parking lot to keep runaway carts from rolling into your ride.Īfter the good exterior photos I’m a bit surprised to see such dark interior photos. At this price it could be a fun driver without having to worry too much about it getting it dusty or having a runaway shopping cart roll into it. It does have new parts like a new wood bed, new windshield gasket, new master cylinder, etc., and the chassis has been modified to lower it a bit. The seller, Johnny’s Garage, says that this is a “stock pickup truck body” with “real old patina paint” so that answers the is-it-real question. Maybe just get one of each, it’s only money. A nice, shiny, light teal blue ’57 pickup would also be hard to beat. or a little of both, but it sure looks good to me. I’m not sure if the patina (i.e., faded paint) seen here is real or if it was created in a lab of scientists. This truck has such a cool look to it, at least in my opinion it does. It’s located in beautiful Sacramento, California. This pastel patina pickup is listed on eBay with a current bid price of just over $10,000 and there is no reserve. Sometimes a vehicle looks like it was found in a barn but it’s been mechanically-updated, like this 1957 Chevrolet 3100 pickup. Barn Finds is famous for showing vehicles that were found in barns, garages, sheds, under tarps, in pole buildings, etc., and/or otherwise have been in storage for decades. 1957 CHEVY TRUCK PATINA RATROD LIKE 1955 1956 1958 1959 SHOPTRUCK CALIFORNIA.
