Vehicle Description
Your looking at a Chevrolet Apache Fleetside Longbed truck. This
classic truck was restored by the previous owner on a full
refurbishment (body-off See pics). It is a half-ton longbed
fleetside with a solid rear axle and a wood-paneled bed. Power
plant is a 235ci inline six-cylinder engine that was rebuilt with
the proper year casting numbers. The original transmission was
replaced with a rebuilt T-5 5-speed manual. The interior,
suspension, and axle has also been rebuilt and refurbished.
Specific Details: Paint is a two-tone Pioneer Beige over Bombay
Ivory color scheme (extra touch up paint included). Original color
was Flaxen Yellow. The body was taken down to bare metal during the
restoration process and the frame has been lowered 2" on re-arced
springs. Bed is re-done in new pine boards that have been protected
with four coats of marine spar varnish. Inside the truck still has
the original stomp starter, manual choke, and manual throttle
knobs. Has a new factory heater/defroster box. Needs a wiper motor.
The fresh new Bench Seats are also two-tone to match the truck
exterior. New Seatbelts installed. The inline six-cylinder motor
was rebuilt by a reputable shop in Phoenix, AZ. The block was bored
.013 over, and valve seats were hardened for unleaded fuel use. A
Fenton dual exhaust header replaces the original cast iron
manifold. The generator was converted to an alternator, and a new
radiator was installed. The original single-barrel carburetor was
also rebuilt. The drive shaft and .342 drive ratio differential has
all been rebuilt. New wheel cylinders, and the braking has been
overhauled with a new dual master cylinder, new drums and shoes,
and replacement of the hard and soft lines. Dual stainless pipes
