Custom LS3-Powered 1957 Chevrolet Pickup
Presentation
This 1957 Chevrolet Stepside pickup was the subject of a custom build before being purchased by the seller in 2019 and later featured in Street Trucks magazine. The build was completed by Nostalgia Hot Rods in Henderson, Nevada, and involved mounting the cab and bed on a TCI chassis as well as finishing the body in metallic silver after the door handles, drip rails, emblems, and mirrors were shaved. Power is provided by a 6.2-liter LS3 V8 linked to a 4L80E four-speed automatic transmission and a 9″ rear end. The chassis features a Mustang II-style front suspension setup, a rear four-link assembly, and adjustable Ridetech airbags as well as power rack-and-pinion steering and power-assisted Wilwood disc brakes. The bed has a custom raised floor and inner fenders as well as a smoothed tailgate, and the exterior features LED lighting, a body-color grille, and smoothed and tucked bumpers with mesh exhaust outlets in the rear bumper. A custom interior by HRH Designs features bolstered seats, a custom center console, and fabricated door panels trimmed in red leather accompanied by Vintage Air climate control, a Budnik steering wheel, Dakota Digital gauges, and an Apple iPad to control the audio system. This custom Task Force pickup is now offered with a Texas title in the seller’s name.
The body was painted in PPG Atomic Silver after the trim and emblems were removed, and the door handles, drip rails, and mirrors were shaved. Additional equipment includes a body-color grille, LED headlights, LED taillight strips below the tailgate, a smoothed and tucked front bumper, and mesh exhaust cutouts in the rear bumper. A paint chip is noted on the front bumper.
The bed was customized with a raised steel floor along with custom inner wheel houses and a smoothed tailgate with a release handle on the inside. The fuel filler has been moved to the center of the bed floor, and the bedsides have been capped at the rear.
The TCI chassis features a Mustang II-style front suspension with tubular control arms and power rack-and-pinion steering as well as a rear four-link setup and adjustable Ridetech airbags at all four corners.
The 20×9″ front and 20×13″ rear Budnik Gasser wheels are wrapped in staggered Continental tires and mounted over power-assisted Wilwood disc brakes with drilled and slotted rotors.
The custom-trimmed cab by HRH Design features bolstered low-back seats trimmed in red leather along with coordinated door panels. The fabricated center console is trimmed to match and extends to the rear cab panel, and it houses a storage compartment, a B&M shifter, buttons for the door poppers, and a molded insert for the iPad used to control the audio system. Additional appointments include Vintage Air climate control, Lokar pedals, and power windows.

Schunnyman is one heck of a guy.... I won the last auction of his on here and could not be happier with the vehicle and his communication throughout the process. A car guy's car guy! Good luck to seller and all bidders with auction, such a beautiful truck.

@DDHarris you would have to jump battery to power the release. Battery disconnect switch is installed to preserve battery

Looks like a labour of love ( & dollars ). Beautifully executed inside, outside & underneath.
