Since today is Father’s Day I figured I would dig up this old item about one of the coolest trucks I have ever laid eyes on. This 1957 Chevy Factory Orrville crew cab conversion has NAPCO 4WD and is basically a “holy grail” truck to guys who are into this stuff. Since it was on my mind, here’s the feature on this amazing and completely awesome beast that I want to receive for Father’s Day!<\/em><\/p>\n

It was two years ago when Jon Sandahl sent me a text with a photo of this truck at his shop. I dropped everything I was doing and headed straight for his shop like my hair was on fire. He has this truck to do some work on it for the owner. It is not being chopped up into a race car. Just some hidden modifications that can be put back when the owner is done with it and make the truck a little better to drive (installing an NV4500 transmission). Jon’s a drag car guy, I am a 100% bonafide truck dork so when I saw what looked to be one of the rarest Chevy trucks on the planet, I had to get there and climb all over it to see if it was the rare beast I thought it was.<\/p>\n

It was.<\/p>\n
