Melanson Motors is proud to offer this Restomod built one-of-a-kind 1959 Chevrolet Apache 3100 known as 'Project Fired'. This is a very special build which comes with provenance! It was featured at SEMA and on Autotopia LA, it won an award at GoodGuys, and was a magazine cover truck for StreetTrucks, a feature truck for Classic Truck magazine, and a feature truck for GoodGuys magazine. This Chevrolet Apache body was burnt in the Paradise, California Camp fire of 2018. The burnt patina body was cleaned and clear coated before being dropped on a Roadster shop slammed SPEC series chassis. It was to be both an incredible driver and a wicked looking truck with nothing else like it. It is a complete Restomod build with top of the line parts. The suspension is AccuAir Air ride allowing the truck to sit comfortably at driving height or skate across the ground slammed right down. It has a 4 link in the rear with a Watts link. The 6.0L LS was rebuilt with performance parts by SoCal Auto Salon. It is fuel injected by Holley Sniper with a Terminator ECU. The engine is mated to a 4 speed automatic 4L80 transmission and a narrowed Ford 9" rear with Eaton TrueTrac. The brakes have serious stopping power! Wilwood Aero 14" cross drilled and slotted discs sit at all four corners with 6 piston calipers up front and 4 piston in the rear. Inside, this truck has a custom made Snowden bench seat, bespoke steering wheel, Classic instruments gauge cluster, 1000W custom stereo system, Restomod air conditioning, power windows, and more! Bespoke Antique Bronze wheels are fitted measuring 20x9 front and 20x13 rear. Custom fabricated tubs were installed to help the truck accept the wider rear wheels. The wood used for the bed is distressed and gives a perfect patina look. The exhaust is 3" stainless with Borla race mufflers and it sounds insane! More details are listed below. There is SO MUCH that gives this truck such character and style. If you want a one-of-a-kind restomod truck that wins awards everywhere it goes, but can actually be driven and enjoyed...do not miss this opportunity! Chassis and Upgrades
