There is a lot going on here with this 1957 Chevrolet. The body of this Bel Air looks to be in amazing shape, but it is sitting on a half-ton Chevy pickup truck frame. The seller would like $5,900 for this interesting ride. They didn’t list the mileage or which vehicle it’s titled as but it’s said to be a clean title. You can view more here on Craigslist and it is located in New Hope, Minnesota.

Mechanically, this car… truck… thing has a 454 cubic inch Chevrolet V8 that is connected to an automatic transmission. The engine has an aluminum intake, headers, a 205 T-case, and power steering. Another note made in the listing is that the tires are new, Dick Cepek “Fun Country” tires sized to 37×12.50×17. It is a roadworthy vehicle. They do not mention if they have indeed taken it mudding or off-roading.

The interior leaves something to be desired. It is incredibly primitive and has captains chairs all the way around. One thing that it is lacking is a roll cage. So if you are interested in serious off-roading with this thing, you might want to consider installing one. It would be hard to know the structural integrity as a whole, and it might be somewhat cringe-worthy to scratch or dent the body out on the trails.

The hard part is that the body is so nice that it would be more worthwhile to remove it from the chassis and put it back on something more fitting. If you have an off-road project that you want to take to the next level, but also want a classic car project, you could certainly buy this thing. Really, it would be this vehicle, and another not so quite fitting vehicle, that you could build two proper vehicles. Then again, it does look like fun the way it is.
