A friend of mine found this sitting in a field, any idea on what it is?

Based on the dash gauges, looks to be a '55-57 GMC pickup.

1958 or 1959 Chevy.

Fender emblem is from a 1957 model. It says "Chevrolet," and maybe 3124 -- i.e. the indication of a 3/4 ton. That would match the long wheel base on the bed (note the elongated steps on the stepside).

The color (think '57 chevy bel air) and hood ribs are correct for a '57 model as well.

I'm going to conclude that it's a pretty original 1957 Chevrolet 3/4 ton pickup.

Thanks for the info, now i have to try and figure out who owns it. and see if they want to part with it....

If it has 2 headlights on each side it could a 58'-59' GMC
If it's a single headlight model it could a 57 GMC.
Hard to tell if the hood ribs is 57 or 58-59 from this angle.
These years Chevy's had a triangular dash, GMC's had that dash.
The odd part is the chevrolet emblem/fender spear.
Am I not seeing the dash correctly?
Does it have a triangular bezel?
If it hase a triangular dash bezel then it's correct for the Chevrolet and not a GMC.

Looks like a GMC dash in it with Chevy fender badge. If it # on it is 3124 then I believe it was a Cameo. If thats the case then either someone put the badges on there or the bed was removed (1st one is more likely) 3100 is the 1/2 ton and 3600 is 3/4 ton...
