I’m a Chevy guy and I’m looking for a good used truck to tow project cars to my house and to haul parts and engines around. What would be a good year and model to look for? I found a 57 Chevy stepside truck for $2000 but was told that they are not very good for towing.

Thanks

 

How much money are you looking at spending?

 

Trying to stay around $6000; looking to personalize/upgrade body, engine, wheels, and tires. Not going to be a daily driver.

 

You could get a nice 1999-2001 for that, check out ebay for a good comparison, you might be suprised what you can get.

 

I like Stepsides, what year/model is your avatar quick02?

 

2002. It's close to a one off production. Since I couldn't put down the money Navy Federal wanted for the 2002 WS.6 I started looking for other options in the show lot. They showed me the extreme first but I wanted a V-8. I started on making a silverado, I got the stepside because it's lighter and the door panels are comp also from what I understand I'm close to 3800lbs.

I got the 5 speed manual and the 4.8, I wanted the 5.7 but chevy replied back with No to the dealer, I tried the 5.3 and got back NO, and besides your truck is too far along and already has the 4.8 in it even though the build calender showed I had 2 more weeks to decide. It's the base line model with an upgraded engine, LS dash cd player etc.... and the LT speakers installed in the base line speaker area's. I really wish I got power accesory's though, I ain't tall so I don't have long arms lol! Probably one of the few 24k "Base Model" Silverado's

Well thats a long answer to a short question, you should definatley be able to get atleast a 99-00 model but you may end up having to do a bed swap via junk yard for the step side. There doesn't seem to be alot.

 

hey is that 57 chevy short box still for sale? if so where is it located
