I have a 1957 Dodge Sweptside pickup that has been updated with a modern drivetrain including a '76 360 motor, '83 904 transmission, volare front end. Truck has been slightly modified with partial chrome and wind wing removal. "C" notched in the rear to lower the trucks ride height. '59 caddy tail lights and fish tail exhaust tips. May consider a partial trade for nice Class "C" motorhome, street rod or?

This is great! You take a truck that has potential value of around $40-45,000 and make it into something worth maybe $20,000 (optimistically)

Pretty much my thoughts.

So many ways to build this using trashed wagon parts... One of my "if I live long enough" projects...

I like it but it kind of is a shame, the 57 is the best year of that truck.
