Dave Parish's '57 Chevy 3100 Stepside
The Chevy 3100 shortbed truck left a lasting impression on Dave Parish during his childhood and has been a part of his life ever since. When he was 7 years old a neighbor, Charley, asked his parents if he could take Dave to the Missouri State Fair. Charley showed up driving a new '57 Chevy 3100 shortbed-black, six-cylinder four-speed-that was the neatest thing Dave had ever seen. Dave doesn't remember much about that State Fair but the fond memories of driving in the truck stayed with him. In 1966, at the age of 16, Dave found a '55 Chevy shortbed at a local dealer. The Chevy was a six-cylinder with three on the tree and faded red with off-white top paint; $200 traded hands and he was driving it home. A couple of months later he put a 396 four-speed out of a wrecked '65 Chevy Impala SS and the motor gave the truck new life. He owned several of these trucks over the years but never did a full restoration on any of them until he acquired his latest creation, a '57 Chevy 3100 shortbed.
