Vehicle Description
Gateway Classic Cars 0f San Antonio/Austin is pleased to offer this
visually stunning 1958 GMC Fleetside Pickup. The '58 GMC trucks,
sometimes known as "Fleetsides" or often referred to as "Apaches",
were also known as a part of what was called the GMC "Blue Chip
Series" of pickups, are the upper line to the Chevrolet Apaches.
Both sporting the wrap around front windshield and the dual
headlights, these model year trucks have become iconic in the
classic markets. This is also one of the years that had the
side-to-side chrome grill with the integrated turn signals that
collectors & hot-rodders have come to love! This particular 1958
GMC underwent a complete body off media blast back in 2018/2019
when this build was initially started. From there, it was modified
removing the side vents, the door edges were rounded & the handles
were shaved and the vent windows were removed to name a few of the
custom touches... Then it was completely reassembled with new front
& rear chromed bumpers and grill assembly, sprayed with a super
sharp looking Golden Umber two-tone paint scheme and some
"woodgrain-looking" aluminum bed slats to create a high profile
look with a classic GMC truck. This is a head turner for sure!
Under the hood you will find, per the seller, a small block 350 CID
V8 sourced from a 1969 Camaro with finned aluminum valve covers, an
Edelbrock Performer EPS aluminum intake, an Edelbrock 600CFM carb,
a Petronics distributor & coil set up, long tube headers and a
Champion aluminum radiator. All the power is fed through a newer
700-R4 automatic transmission for smooth, precise shifting & is put
to the ground compliments of a Ford 9" rear end & is brought to a
stop with 4-wheel disc brakes. The interior is a real showstopper
as well! The builders added a slick custom diamond-tuck leather
interior, a turned aluminum gauge panel housing Classic Instruments
gauges tucked in nicely behind the custom '55 steering wheel, a
Vintage Air system, AM/FM/Bluetooth, tilt steering, fresh carpets,
etc. Completing the stance and look are a set of 15" aluminum
American Racing 5-spoke wheels wrapped up tight in fresh rubber and
ready for cruise nights. I am sure there are some items I have
missed, but you can see from the photos that this 1958 GMC is one
super fine-looking ride!
