Vehicle Description
This 1959 Chevrolet 3100 Apache Fleetside Pickup is a beautifully
restored Restomod pickup truck with all of the best features! In
the late 1950s, Chevy began to place a greater emphasis on the
style of its trucks. The Chevrolet Truck marketing materials for
1959 explain that trucks are "more than income producing machinery.
[They are also] well groomed representatives in the field." In
October 1958, Chevrolet debuted its 1959 truck line to the general
public. While the '59 Trucks were relatively unchanged from the '58
versions, perhaps the biggest change occurred with respect to the
new more ornate and pronounced hood emblem, with a large red
Chevrolet logo on top of a waffle patterned background and a "V"
which signified the V8 models. Also carried forward from 1958 to
1959 was the "Apache," "Viking," and "Spartan" class designations,
corresponding to the respective two-digit numerical series
designations of 31 (light duty), 40 (medium duty), and 70 (heavy
duty). Although a stock '59 Apache is always a desirable truck to
have in your fleet, there has been a recent rise in '59 1/2 Tons
receiving the Restomod treatment likely due to their high-style
appearances along with the wide array of parts and upgrades that
are available today. With a Restomod truck, the truck retains its
classic looks but receives a major upgrade in performance and
comfort, ultimately making the truck more fun and relaxing to
drive. A well-done restomodded truck, like this one, is a hot
commodity today and is bound to be in the future. Powering this
particular '59 Apache Pickup is a 350 Cubic Inch V8 engine that is
paired with a single Holley 4 barrel carburetor sitting on top of
an Edelbrock aluminum intake, with cooling provided by an aluminum
radiator. Dual exhaust gives this truck a nice throaty sound. The
350 V8 is hooked up to a TH400R4 Automatic Transmission ensuring
that anybody can take this baby for a spin around the block. This
restomod Fleetside pickup truck is loaded with options! With power
brakes, bringing this '59 Chevy Apache to a complete stop is made
much easier. Getting in and out of tight spaces is also simplified
with the addition of power steering. With a modern air conditioning
system upgrade, you'll stay cool while cruising even on the hottest
summer days. A positraction rear end ensures that you'll keep the
rubber to pavement. The exterior on this '59 1/2 Ton Restomod Truck
has been refinished in a beautiful two-tone paint scheme consisting
of Pearl White Metallic with Omaha Orange accents. The wood bed and
steel Fleetside box on this Pickup Truck is in wonderful condition
as well. Riding on BFGoodrich Radial T/A tires on Baby Moon
Chevrolet-branded Rally Rims, this '59 Chevy has a fantastic look
and even better ride. The custom interior on this 3100 Pickup is
stunning! The bench seat has been reupholstered in Red vinyl with
Red/Black/White Tri-Tone cloth inserts. The door panels have
upholstered in a similar manner to match the bench seat. The power
windows work great on this restomod truck. The original steering
column has been upgraded to a tilt steering setup with a custom
steering wheel. The painted dash is also in fantastic shape as
well. Engine information is provides via an upgraded VDO gauges
cluster complete with a 120 MPH Speedometer, volt gauge, oil
pressure gauge, temperature gauge, and fuel gauge. A retro-style
AM/FM radio has also been added so that you can listen to all of
your tunes cruising down the road. Whether you're looking to buy
your very first classic truck or you're looking to add a
restomodded fleetside to your existing fleet, this 1959 Chevrolet
3100 Apache Fleetside Pickup Truck would make an excellent choice.
