1959 Chevrolet Apache

Description

This slick 1959 Chevrolet Apache 3100 pickup has obviously received a ton of time and investment. It's a bold two-tone machine, and as you dig deeper, you're going find a ton of upgrades, including solid V8 power.

This truck immediately declares that it's something different the moment it arrives. After all, the colors look similar to the Orange Fuse and River Rock Gray you can get from Harley-Davidson. It's a clue to this truck's past. This was at a Harley dealer for some time, and so the finish had to be professional-grade. But even if you're not fantasizing about using this one to haul your own Hog, there still is a ton of appeal here. The two-tone is expertly intertwined so that you really see the rocket-like design going along the desirable fleetside bed. And the orange wheels draw even more attention to the whitewall tires. Plus, the silver pinstripe does a terrific job of making a distinct dividing line for the orange and gray all along the body. Add in chrome bumpers, a windshield sunshade, and plenty of real wood in the truck bed, and this one satisfies both your love of classic and custom.

The exterior colors return inside on the door panels and dash. It gives this truck a nice uniform feeling, but what you'll really love are all the custom upgrades. It starts with a two-tone bench seat with matching removable center console that adds a nice touch of individual comfort. The steering wheel is a wood-rimmed unit that looks good when paired with the wood-like artistry of the glove box door. The classic Chevy fan-style speedometer is now joined by upgraded auxiliary gauges, including a handy tach. There are even provisions for R134a air conditioning. And if this is starting to look like a nice place to spend some time, then you'll really enjoy the upgraded tunes provided by the touchscreen stereo with AM/FM/CD and Bluetooth.

Under the hood is a 350 cubic-inch V8. It's a tidy setup with some extra flair from the Edelbrock valve covers and shining air topper. But what should really get you excited this shows to be a useful truck with components like newer hoses, a new battery, and a large Champion aluminum radiator w/electric fan. The V8 inhales deeply with an Edelbrock four-barrel carburetor, and it exhales with a sweet tune from the dual exhaust. This is built to be a solid driver, and so you have an upgraded front suspension, a stout TH400 three-speed automatic transmission, power steering, and power brakes w/discs up front.

This truck was all about doing proper work and looking good the whole time. So you know that makes for a solid foundation for an outstanding classic. Call today!!!
