What started off as a late model Chevy pickup now has a retro ’57 Chevy look, thanks to a lot of work by owner John Larocque of Lehigh Acres. It is all steel, using the real fins, wheel openings and trim from a ’57, just modified quite a bit to look right on the truck. The tailgate was given Nomad-like chrome strips, and the hood has the distinctive recessed "gunsight" chrome from a ’57. Next to it was John and Deborah’s yellow 1957 Chevy, so it was easy to see where he got his inspiration.
