1959 Chevrolet Apache 31 NAPCO 4x4 Description

Up for auction is this great little entry level NAPCO 4x4 short bed pickup! This 1959 Apache 31 was originally a 235 6 cylinder 2 wheel drive truck. The current owner purchased the truck several years ago having already been upfitted with NAPCO Powr-Pak 4 wheel drive, and having had the engine upgraded to a mid 60's 327 Chevy V8. This is a running driving truck. Motor runs real strong. Keeps up with freeway speed traffic just fine. It has been on the road as a daily driver for the past two years. Actual miles are total unknown. Here are the details!

Bed wood and strips need replacing.
Exhaust is in pretty good shape
No cutout for radio. Bad cutout has been repaired and metal finished.
Speedo, tachometer, and fuel gauge are dead. Oil Pressure, Temp, etc. work fine.
Weeping around oil pan and intake, front axle is leaking out of the knuckles.
Seat needs upholstering.
Driver door hinge pins have been replaced.
Wipers work, but really slow. Probably time to rebuild or replace.
Window regulators are rough. Windows roll up and down but are stiff. Little bouncy out on the road.
Both doors need to be closed vigorously. Drivers a little worse than passenger. This is typical of an unrestored truck of this age and body style.
Door weatherstripping is shot.
4x4 - Warn M16 hubs. One has a homebrew dial. Both are frozen. need to be pulled, soaked, and rebuilt. Never have tried to engage.
Transmission: Synchros are a bit rough. Doesn't pop out of gear or anything, just not as smooth as my other SM420 trucks.
Bed wood and skid strips are rough. The floor is bad plywood. Strips are shot. Previous owner left a carpet and a bunch of junk in the bed that rotted them out.
Added 8 Snap-loctie downs, E-track type rated at 1,000 lbs. each
Body and paint... Pictures speak for themselves. It's an old ranch truck!
Rust in the usual places but all easy fixes. This truck was in the desert, we think, it's whole life so the bad spots are easily patched with commercially available panels. No difficult metal repairs here.
Tires are very good BF Goodrich T/A LT 255 85 R16 Mud Terrain

This is a fantastic truck with a really reasonable opening bid price, and NO RESERVE. Don't miss out!
Please note that the NAPCO4X vanity license plate does NOT go with the truck!
