Ray Cecil Posted June 27, 2019 Share Posted June 27, 2019 Saw this one on Offerup. Lots of pics but i dont think its what you really want. Check out this 57 Ford Flatbed Truck for $5000 on OfferUp https://offerup.co/9DB5tOTYQX 57' Chevy Long bed stepside is on my list. Going to body swap it onto my dads old truck. 57 was his birth year.

Check out this 57 Ford Flatbed Truck for $5000 on OfferUp https://offerup.co/9DB5tOTYQX Yeah not a flat bed. One just sold on ebay. It went for $6200, I didn't think that was bad. It needed a lot of interior work, but mechanically and the exterior were fine.But it was in Vegas. That would be a haul . .but a good reason to go back to Vegas for a couple days :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a complete and total redo . .take every panel off and restore each and everyone part of it :) Lots and lots of bondo, so worse than it appears,. So I'm still looking . . might go for a 65/66 F100 too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No for sale sign. It moves around in his driveway. I can inquire about it for you if you want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is the nickname of this body style? "Slick"? I know the style before it was the "Fridge", and it was followed by the "Bumpside"... PS: What engine is that with the distributor at the rear?...

PetesPonies Posted August 17, 2019 Author Share Posted August 17, 2019 Yes, that's a beautiful truck! Doesn't look like it needs much work, but what are your plans for it? Would like to add PB, some type of OD/trans ( would love to find one of the original type cable activated OD units. But I'm sure super $$$ and kinda funky to operate). Add the Ford lettering back to the tailgate, etc. The engine is a 292, last year for the Y-Blocks.I have a softness in my heart for YBlocks. I have a 312 in my Bird.
