1959 Chevrolet Apache 3100 Shortbed Stepside NO RESERVE Auction Starting @ Just $1959.00
This is a wonderful old truck lovingly restored by it's long term owner who passed away shortly after it's completion. It was bought at his estate sale and unfortunately no records were offered. DRD acquired it about a year after that in more or less it's present condition. Mileage of 737 is believed to be total miles since restoration.
235 inline 6 cylinder w/4 speed granny transmission (can't guarantee if either was rebuilt during restoration due to lack of records).
Runs, drives, stops and steers like a 59 Chevy. fires right up, even after sitting, but seems to be running rich. I have not attempted adjustment.
New battery since restoration.
New white Port-A-Walls since restoration.
No rust appears present in the truck, inside, outside or underneath. Can't speak to what all may or may not have been present prior to restoration but truck looks like a very solid original example.
While the restoration was cosmetically thorough, it was by no means perfect. Truck is a perfect driver/parade vehicle but does have it's flaws (detailed in photos link).
Excellent glass throughout.
New seals, rubbers and feltsthroughout.
Doors open and shut nicely but driver side door needs some adjusting.
Windows roll up and down almost effortlessly.
Everything seems to be working with exception to the horn (which does appear to be hooked up properly, have not looked into it). Wipers and the radioare not hooked up. Heater levers need some sorting/attention.
