57 would make a nice hot rod.. these are more in the "worker" category.. one I know of, guy does beach tows, mostly motorhomes... think it is a 88 F350 dually 4X4... redid it frame up, front and rear posi, all hd springs, gutsy tranny and transfer case, fresh 460 with some aftermarket stuff... pulls anything.. before he had the wrecker body on it, some him do a full 6 wheel burnout with it
... boys will be boys... another is a 78 one ton chevy with a 454 in it dana 60's front and rear.. set up just for plowing.. 9 foot blade.. it is a non stop tank.
