The 1957 W500 came with a 315 V8 or a 265ci FH6.
I see more of the V8 models.
Parts...
Well the sheetmetal is the same as 57 2wds, front fenders being from larger trucks only.
Drivetrain, I think most of it is the same as at least the 58-60 W500s, but I am not sure.
I know the frames are a little bit different then the 58-60 W500s.
What parts would you need?
1957 W500s are a pretty unique vehicle, and some parts may be hard to find.
I would be interested in seeing pictures, and other details about the truck you are considering.
