Cool custom short-bed trucks are always in style and make for big hits at car shows and cruises. This 1957 Chevrolet 3100 Big Back Window cruiser will turn heads no matter what event it shows up to. The crisp white paint job and pinstriping in the front and rear go perfectly with the black Detroit Steel wheels, painted white bumpers, chrome front grille, LED headlights, and the custom frenched rear taillights tucked into the rear fenders. The door handles are shaved along with the tailgate handle. The truck bed looks outstanding, just like the rest of the truck. And just in case you need to tow something, there is a trailer hitch under the rear bumper.
The interior carries an original/custom vibe. The red bench seat sets off the mostly black cabin. The original Chevy gauge cluster is paired with a Mooneyes tachometer and three AutoMeter gauges: Fuel, Water Temp, and Oil Pressure. A Holley Sniper Fuel Injection Control unit sits to the right of the steering wheel, helping the driver keep a closer eye on engine activity. The door panels are in good shape, as are the dashboard and custom headliner. Door jambs, dashboard, and glove box all feature creative pinstriping designs. The custom steering wheel looks sharp, and the shifter lever topped with a grenade knob adds a unique touch. Altogether, it's a well-done classic look for the interior.
Under the hood, the pinstriping continues and only enhances the clean engine bay, which houses the Holley Sniper fuel-injected 350 cubic-inch V8 engine. This is paired with a reliable 700R4 4-speed automatic transmission that runs back to a later-model 10-bolt rear axle.
For suspension, the Chevrolet gets a Camaro front subframe featuring A-arms with coil springs and shocks, while the rear uses leaf springs with air shocks. Gloss black Detroit Steel 20-inch wheels with chrome center caps sit at all four corners-wheels are wrapped in 245/40R20 front tires and 275/35ZR20 rear tires. For stopping power, the truck features power front disc brakes and rear drum brakes. And for that great old-school sound, dual exhaust runs through Cherry Bomb-style resonators.
