1958 CHEVROLET APACHE SHORTBOX FLEETSIDE PICKUP

This truck is a solid foundation for your next project! It is complete - missing only the rear bumper - and runs and drives. Not to mention it is the more sought after short-box fleetside model. This truck is complete enough to perform a complete restoration, but would also make a great hotrod. Given its condition, its also a great driver the way it is.My goal is to represent the condition of this truckin its entirety, but I encourage you to look at all the pictures and feel welcome to contact me via the eBay message board or give me a call: Chad @ (406)403-6921.

ENGINE/TRANSMISSION/DRIVETRAIN: This truck is all originalwith the stock 6CYL, 4spd and drivetrain. It runs and drives well. The engine runs well with no smoking, although I know very little about its mileage. Even though the air cleaner is not pictured, it is included. The brakes are in good working order - I adjusted and bled them. The battery I am using is not included in the sale. Engine does not smoke, tranny shifts well and rear end seems solid.

BODY/SHEET METAL/GLASS: This truck is straight and solid and needs very little attention. Font fenders are in great condition with no rust in the lower fender areas or the "eyebrow" areas around the headlights. The grille is complete and in very nice condition. Also all the headlight bezels and trim pieces are there and in good condition. All the Apache emblems are there and in good condition as well. The cab is also in very good condition. Floors are solid with only a small area - about the size of a nickel - of rust through on the driver's side floor. Under the seat is very solid. The step areas in side the doors are very solid with only surface rust. The cab corners have some rust and damage, but is very repairable and replacement cab corners are available and very reasonably priced. The doors are very solid with no areas of rust - all door handles and window/lock/latch mechanisms are there. They also close very nicely. The glass is all there and in good condition. Door and rear glass is all flat and easily replaced if need be. The windshield has a small crack in it. The dash is complete and the seat doesn't even have a tear in it. The box is very straight with only minor dents and dings in the sides. The very end corner pieces of the box near the tailgate have some dents and are in need of some attention. I believe these pieces to be very repairable, but they also bolt off and are available as reproduction parts for replacement. The tailgate is straight, but has some bondo in it. It can easily be fixed properly. The bed is complete, but will require a new wood kit. The wheel wells are in very good condition with no rust and all the steel bed strips are there and in good condition.

WHEELS/TIRES: As you can tell from the photos, the truck does not have its original wheels. These chrome wheels look neat on the truck and would clean up nicely with some steel wool. The tires are good drivers, butalthough the fronts match each other and the rears match each other, the fronts and reads do not match each other. All hold air well for driving or transporting.

This truck is very solid and would make a very fun project. This truck sells with no title - BILL OF SALE ONLY - and sells at auction with no reserve.
