Vehicle Description
This stunning 1959 Chevrolet 3200 Apache fleetside pickup is total
eye candy with its striking great looks. This truck has a ton of
character and provides a lot of enjoyment. In 1955, Chevrolet's
Advanced Design Pickups were improved to create the Task Force
series, a larger, more modernly styled truck line that spanned
through 1959. As the VIN indicates, this truck is a 3200 that was
built at the Atlanta, GA, assembly plant. It was treated to a
nut-and-bolt, frame-off restoration to show-quality standards.
Prior to the restoration it's believed to be a two-owner truck from
Georgia with great history. The exterior body is straight with very
nice panel fitment throughout. It was finished the correct color of
Neptune Green with white accents. The color combination is
something special. Some of the white accents include the front
grille, headlight buckets, bullets on the rear bed, letters on
tailgate, front bumper, rear bumper and hubcaps. It also has some
black accents that include the letters in front grille, pinstripe
around the bullets on the rear bed, mirror, emblems and wheels. The
front windshield was replaced, and all the remaining glass is in
beautiful original condition. Everything on the exterior has been
restored or replaced. Some of these items include the window trim,
wipers, door handles, lights and emblems. The inside of the rear
bed and floor rails were painted the body color. The floors were
finished in black to match the black accents. The tailgate has new
chains and brackets, which are protected with black material. The
truck sits proudly on American Classic 6.70 R15 tires. The exterior
is complemented with a beautiful tan and black interior. The entire
interior was completely restored to factory specifications. Some of
these items include the headliner, sun visor, rearview mirror,
gauges, steering wheel, knobs, seats, seatbelts and rubber
flooring. Everything in the interior is in working order, including
the gauges, horn, turn signals, lights and heating system. The
engine compartment was completely restored and is highly detailed
throughout. The firewall is painted the body color and, under the
hood, inner fenders along with radiator support are painted
high-gloss black. The engine compartment has many correct features
throughout. It's powered by the 235ci inline-6 engine that runs
excellent. The engine casting number is #3764476, which is correct
for a 1958-62 Chevrolet 235ci inline-6 engine. The engine breathes
through a correct original-style exhaust. The engine is coupled to
a 3-speed manual transmission that shifts smoothly. The
undercarriage was completely restored and is nicely detailed. The
underside of this truck is definitely presentable enough for
mirrors at a car show. Everything has been restored or replaced,
including the suspension and braking system. An owner's manual with
folder is included. This truck has been serviced and detailed. This
is a wonderful example of a classic American pickup truck.
