1957 Chevy 3800 Pickup Truck Is A Hero Of An Era

Carlisle Auctions is offering this vintage truck.


In 1918, two important things happened - Chevrolet became a part of General Motors, and the first Chevy pickup trucks arrived on the scene. They first made their appearance based on a passenger car frame on steroids, and very quickly evolved. The first truck with cab came in 1927, with the extremely popular 3100 coming in 1946, and the Chevy 3600 and Chevy 3800 pickups joining and the 3000 series ending in 1959. When the series ended, people were in love with the Chevy 3000s, and this wonderful example of the 1957 Chevy 3800 pickup truck could be your memento of the era.

This 1957 Chevy 3800 truck is built on a Chevy 1 ton factory dually. It received a frame-off restoration to resemble the Cameo appearance package. Powering the truck is a 468 big block, and a lot of customizations. Find out the full rundown here.
