The 1957 Chevrolet 3200 pickup truck stands as a symbol of mid-century American engineering and design. Part of Chevrolet’s Task Force series, introduced in 1955, the 3200 represented the three-quarter-ton configuration of GM’s groundbreaking truck lineup — a significant step forward in both capability and style for the era.

Beneath its distinctive hood, the 3200 was typically powered by Chevrolet’s dependable inline-six engine, with optional V8 power available for buyers who needed extra muscle.

Visually, the ’57 3200 carried the confident, wide-faced styling that defined the Task Force generation — a panoramic wraparound windshield, clean horizontal lines, and a cab design that felt genuinely modern compared to its predecessors. Chrome details added a touch of flair that balanced form with function beautiful.

This 1957 3200 has been recently refurbished with an eye toward originality, though front disc brakes have been added. Under the hood sits a 235ci “Thriftmaster” inline-six, linked to a four-speed manual transmission with “granny” low gear.

This 1957 Chevrolet 3200 Pickup is now offered on dealer consignment with a binder of refurbishment photos and a clean Florida title.

Additional Information

The selling dealer states: “The truck has 3100 badges on it, but the consignor/builder [and VIN decode] states it is actually a 3200. A fresh build that comes with a binder documenting the painstaking process, ensures what you are getting. The inline 235 six cylinder runs quiet and is ready to head to the farm or a show. The owner made some smart updates with front disc brakes. The frame and underside was rhino lined and real wood was installed in the bed.”
