    Welcome to CHR
    The P/S P/B will not swap into your 57. UNLESS you do a subframe. The steering is different one front and the other rear. Before you do any choping on the 57 do a lot of measuring. You will probably (as in WILL) find that the core support will have to be modified which means the rad. won't fit. Then there in nothing to hang the fenders from. Engine and trans swap OK but I think and AM going with rebuilding the front back to stock. There are some aftermarket p/s boxs but they tend to leak. The p/s for that car is avaliable its the cylinder and valve type used on early chevy's, but they are a pain to adjust. Disk brakes is doable with aftermarket kits, go with the bigger rotors. Most of all have fun.
