Vehicle Description
The fun of patina pickups is how they can be secretly rewarding, so
you may want to sneak ahead to see a few pics of the interior,
motor, and undercarriage right now. It shows how this 1958
Chevrolet Apache has a cool weathered look on the outside, but in
total, it's a well-invested solid classic cruiser.
We're told this is a true patina truck, and so the weathered
appearance has been in the works for generations. And details like
the big rear step bumper and battered lumber in the truck bed give
this Chevy a great work-tested attitude. But the real feeling this
exterior gives is how secretly rewarding it is. After all, you can
start to notice just how straight the sheet metal is. So we love
that this is a long bed because a fleetside is a rarity from this
era and there's more metal to show off the flush design. Plus, the
brightwork on the hood side mirrors, door handles, badging, and
hubcaps have a quality shine.
The interior shows off even more freshness. There's a clean look to
the door panels, rubber, floor, gauges, and bench seat. There's
even proper sound deadening material on the floor. The patina is
really just in the minority with touches on the door tops and dash.
Even details like the dome light, window rubber, and glass received
the right attention. As restored as it is, nothing looks too
overdone to take away from the vintage atmosphere. And the feel of
the thin steering wheel and tall shifter of the four-speed can
almost transport you back to 1958.
The engine bay gets the tone right for this one. After all, we all
know some pretty awesome V8s fit in these Chevys, but this one
loves a true unique and original style, and so they invested in the
correct 235 cubic-inch motor. This Thriftmaster inline-six is a
showpiece of cleanliness. It has an impressively stock style where
the only upgrade you'll likely spot is the period-correct Fenton
split header package that gives this a true dual exhaust. And
you're going to want to follow those pipes in the undercarriage
photos where you can see the fresh frame and suspension that makes
this a confident cruiser.
The sale comes complete with build receipts and restoration photos.
This truck looks like it was in your family for generations but
drives like it left the Chevy dealership yesterday. That's why this
Apache is just so cool. Call today!!!
