Mine was a 57 chevy shortbox stepside pickup. Had a really built 327 put in it with glass packs. The thing was primer grey and had a set of old american racing slots on it. Was cammed to the hilt and had a really deep throaty sound, parents worst nightmare. I'd pick up girls and you could see the terror in their parents eyes. lol I loved that truck. Unfornunately the brakes and handling couldn't withstand the power and wrapped it around a power pole one night. But man was it fun while it lasted, just stomp on the pedal and fight to keep it on the road. Having a 3,000 RPM stall converter really slammed it into the next gear and the 12 bolt posi pontiac rear end in it always seemed to throw the back end to the right when it did it. I'd sure like to get another some day, but have a big block in it!
