Vehicle Description
With a bold red look, proper V8 power, and those awesome vernicle
stacks in the truck bed, this 1961 Chevrolet C10 Apache Stepside
has some true street machine appeal. And everything from a bucket
seat interior to four-on-the-floor really backs up this
attitude.
Dodge has the Lil Red Express muscle trucks in the late 1970s that
had the vertical exhaust stacks in the back, but this Chevy almost
looks like it got there first. Those polished pipes look awesome
and make a terrific sound. And that's not the only part of this
intimidating package. After all, this one has a nice
forward-leaning stance. Plus, red paint always seems a bit more
aggressive, and because it's a later application, this also has a
modern shine to show off the great curves of the first gen C10 and
the rounded fenders of the desirable stepside body. There are more
cool details, like the half-mirror headlights, hood pin trim, and
soft tonneau bed cover. And there's also plenty of brightwork on
this classic Chevy with chrome bumpers, Custom Cab trim, polished
wheels, and even diamond plate steel on the bed floor.
The interior has a great muscle truck feel with a set of nice
low-back bucket seats. There are some old-school touches, like the
AM/FM cassette stereo, Pioneer speakers, and full equalizer, and
they actually make for quite a cool and useful sound system. But
the old-school feel you'll like the best is the way this one is
also a cool driver's classic. That means vintage details like an
Impala steering wheel and a Mack truck mascot shifter. The dash
still uses the classic speedometer, and now this also has a large
column-mounted tach and an auxiliary gauge trio in the dash. The
whole package almost has a rat rod style feel - in all the best
ways - and that impression continues under the hood.
The engine bay has an aged and stripped-out look that tells you the
old powerhouse is long gone. This emptiness on the sides funnels
your attention to the fresher and newer muscle in the middle. The
bold orange block, shining valve covers, and ribbed Edelbrock valve
covers make for a cool contrast to the patina inner fenders. We all
love the power and adaptability of Chevy 350 cubic-inch V8. This
one inhales deeply with a Holley four-barrel carburetor, and we all
know exactly where this one exhales. Those vertical pipes in the
bed keep this truck truly memorable. And you get firm control over
it all thanks to the Muncie M20 four-speed manual transmission.
We can't say enough how much we love those pipes, and the rest of
the truck has a cool hot/rat rod style that's irresistible, too. So
you know this is the classic pickup that's going to be a ton of
fun. Call today!!!
