Major project

I'd buy it solely because he didn't say "easy resto"

Not my kind of truck but definitely worth the effort to it bring back.

If a truck had to grab your attention, what would it be, Fred?

kinda shocked. I was picturing a Monarchino or something of that sort.

I've been a Sweptline guy for a long time never cared for the Sweptside.

I love these trucks, built in 57 and 58. The cab style is completely different between them. I prefer the 57 but both are a tough find in complete condition as this one is. (The 1/4 panels were pirated from the 57 Dodge suburban 2 door).
A lot of these trucks were equipped with a poly V8 and push button shifted automatic. The 354 Hemi was an option.

The front-top of the hood reminds me of a big uni-brow...

Here is the 57 version of the Styleside.

The 1957 Dodge/Fargo trucks are a bit of a bastard, in that there is very little in the body that swaps out to '56-earlier and '58-later trucks. If you are looking to build a '57 at anytime in the future, find the most complete and straight truck you can.

The fargo version...... Now these are rare.

The fargo version...... Now these are rare.

Now this is a different looking "Truck"

 

[barnfind]

Rare yes!

 

[thrashingcows]

This one was at the local Mopar's Unlimited show a couple years ago....I liked it a lot...especially the Hemi it sported.

 

[bluefury361]

Nice ......... Do you recall if it was an automatic...?

 

[BIGBARNEYCARS]

The single headlite '57 front end lookz sooooo much better the the quadz in '58 IMHO. Passed up my shot at a '57 red 'n white 392 W/ 727 and a complete ground up resto sitting it the car corral at the Auburn auction back in the mid '80s for 5K, DUM DUM JER WHIMPER WHIMPER

I didn't snap a pic of the interior...and I can't recall what it had, auto or manual.
