1959 Chevy Apache Short Bed Stepside – Rebuilt Mechanicals, Great Driver – Raleigh, NC Price: $11,500 Description: Up for sale is a highly desirable, head-turning 1959 Chevrolet Apache short-bed stepside classic. Located right here in Raleigh, NC. This truck features a clean, transferable title in hand and has undergone extensive mechanical restoration where it counts. It wears an older orange paint job and sits on its classic original wheels. It runs and drives beautifully. The hard, expensive mechanical and structural work is already done! This is an honest driver with a lot of character—see full details below. Body & Exterior: • Paint & Finish: Finished in an older orange paint job. It looks nice and presents well, but please note it is a driver-quality paint job and is not perfect. • Structure: Brand-new floors installed. The notorious cab corners are in fine, solid shape. Received extensive bodywork over the years, including recent hand-crafted steel work by highly skilled Cuban body craftsmen. • Doors: Typical for these trucks, the doors need a firm slam to shut completely tight. • Wheels: Sitting on its highly desirable original wheels. • Rare Feature: The driver-side rear fender features the factory-style side-mount spare tire carrier fender. • Bed: Features a wood bed. A few sections of the wood recently rotted out, but they have been cleanly and nicely patched up. Drivetrain & Mechanicals (Fully Sorted): • Engine: Vintage 1953 GMC inline-six engine, fully rebuilt. Runs smoothly with great torque. • Transmission: Heavy-duty 4-speed manual transmission with the gear shift on the floor and a low "granny gear" first gear. Shifts great. • Fuel & Cooling: Brand-new rebuilt carburetor, newly rebuilt radiator, and a brand-new gas tank installed. • Electrical: Fully re-wired through the engine bay and the rear of the truck with a rebuilt generator. The rest of the wiring is older but functional. • Gauges: All original dashboard gauges are hooked up and fully functional (fuel, temp, amps, oil pressure). Only the speedometer/odometer is currently disconnected. • Suspension: Upgraded with heavy-duty springs. Interior & Glass Flaws (Priced Accordingly): • The windshield has an old, stable 45-year-old crack in it. • An old aftermarket radio was removed by a previous owner, leaving a cut hole in the center of the dashboard. This is a solid, mechanically fresh, turn-key classic truck that you can drive and enjoy on day one while you tinker with the cosmetics. Location: Raleigh, North Carolina Clean title in hand.
