1958 Chevy Apache step-side pickup truck. He has a lot of money into it, but our
reserve is very fair. The foam board was put in the one pic to cover the license plate. Now... let's get down to
specifics:
Engine - lightly built Chevy 383 stroker. My son bought the engine as a long-block, and it was built by a local
engine builder located in Everett, WA. It is not a racing engine, but it has a great sound to it with a mild cam
and runs flawlessly. All new headers, intake manifold, Holley carb, water pump, alternator, and a complete new
exhaust system. The motor has approximately 1000 miles on it, so it is just about broken in. No leaks anywhere!!
Transmission - TH400. Shifts great and also has new driveshaft hooked up to it.
Chevy rear end with a Ford front. Disc brakes up front and drums in the rear. The disc breaks really bring it
down to a stop! It unfortunately does NOT have power steering.
The body is in very nice shape, but there is one very light ding on the passenger front fender that you can notice
when you look for it. It can probably be removed with the right equipment. We do not know if there is any bondo
in the body, as my son bought the truck but then had to replace the motor. The lines on the body are very straight
and no waviness when you look down the sides. The paint is not perfect, but we would probably grade it an 8 on a
10 scale. He was told it was originally a Texas truck, but we never confirmed that. He also had new wipers
installed, and they do work. It also has a new wood bed installed out back.
The interior is extremely comfortable with what we think is light cream faux-leather and really contrasts against
the black body. It really pops! New Auto Meter gauges, but the speedometer is a little off. All side windows are
new glass. It has a Kenwood CD/bluetooth sound system with (4) speakers behind the seat.
