Here’s a great reason why classic trucks are so popular today. This 1957 3100 Deluxe Stepside pickup has the look and feel that evokes great memories for some and is a great classic ride for others. The affection people have for these vehicles is demonstrated in a careful five-year restoration with photos to document every step. Even when the resto began, this was a rust free Southern truck, that was sold and spent most of its life in Georgia. The vaunted 283 V8 provides smooth power to a 3-speed manual transmission. The shifter is on the column for that great classic truck feel. This is a pretty one with a turquoise and white paint job and matching interior. The bumpers are chrome and so is the grille. It even has a tinted windshield. Some modern upgrades add to the enjoyability of the truck, such as a complete wiring kit for reliability and a sleek Dakota digital dash — although this ‘57 keeps its original speedometer. You can drive it all day, show it, or just tinker around with it. A shop manual and original owner’s manual are included for that distant day when you may want to look at the instructions.
