Vehicle Description
This 1959 Apache fleetside pickup is an example of the last year of
the body style called the Task Force Series by Chevrolet. This
truck was meticulously restored to original specifications,
including the Sherwood Green exterior color. The truck is powered
by its original matching-numbers 235ci Thriftmaster 6-cylinder
engine, producing 135hp, coupled to a 3-speed manual transmission
with a column shifter. Produced at the St. Louis, MO, Chevrolet
Assembly plant, this pickup spent most of its life as a farm truck
for the same family in Missouri. Its complete restoration began
with sandblasting the bare frame, and every component has been
restored, rebuilt or replaced as needed to bring it to like-new
condition. The restoration was completed in 2011, and the truck has
less than 1,500 miles since. This pickup has been upgraded with a
stock-looking modern AM/FM radio, stock-looking distributor with a
Pertronix electronic module, 3:42 ratio ring & pinion gear, and
3-point seatbelts/harnesses. This truck has won many awards at
various shows, including the Santa Fe Concorso in 2013, an
invitation-only concours event, and was the only truck invited to
the show. It received an award presented by Al Unser Senior.
