Overview of 1959 Chevrolet 3100 Apache Stepside For Sale by Owner

Even though pickup trucks were far more utilitarian back in the ’50s, they still had a popular following. While they may not have offered the same blend of off-road ability and on-road comfort as today’s options, trucks like the 1959 Chevrolet Apache Pickup were known for their reliability and ruggedness. Originally known as the Chevrolet Task Force series of trucks, in 1958 the company changed the names of their lineup. The light-duty series, as is featured here, adopted the “Apache” moniker, along with a redesign of the front end. Our featured truck appears to be in excellent condition for a workhorse of its age. It has a 235ci I6 engine under the hood and a manual transmission.

Exterior and Interior

Compared to the previous Task Force pickups, the 1959 Apache featured a different front end, with large quad headlamps up front, an embellished hood that housed the Chevrolet bow tie logo, and a wider full-length grille that incorporates the “Chevrolet” text. Our featured car is finished in an attractive shade of turquoise, with the owner reporting that the truck was repainted a few years ago. It sits on upgraded split-rim-styled 16-inch alloy wheels in silver, along with Goodyear Assurance all-season tires. Pictured are what appear to be the truck’s original body tags. At the same time, you’ll also find plenty of the model’s original chrome fittings, as well as an impressive load tray that includes a bed floor that features wooden planks and body-colored metal strips. Move inside, and you’ll find a wonderfully “back to basics” interior. The Apache doesn’t feature AC, power steering, or power brakes. However, what it lacks in features, it makes up for in charm. The interior has been redone and features a grey-and-white color scheme for the bench seat. You get the truck’s original large-diameter metal steering wheel. However, the owner reports that an extra smaller-diameter wheel will also be included in the sale. The controls are straightforward, with a “three on the tree” column-shift manual transmission and a large V-shaped 100-mph speedometer set in front of the driver. The truck's cabin also features an AM/FM radio.

Engine

Under the hood of the 1959 Chevrolet Apache Pickup lies a 235ci I6 with a single carburetor. Power is sent to the rear wheels via a three-speed manual transmission famously named the '3-On-The-Tree'.

1964 Chevrolet El Camino Restomod

Current Ask
$39,700

The El Camino has always lived in its own lane—part muscle car, part pickup, and all attitude—and this 1964 Chevrolet El Camino Restomod leans hard into the performance side of that equation. Showing approximately 538 miles, it wears a custom Burgundy finish over a Black Procar interior and packs a 383ci stroker V8 backed by a TH400 3-speed automatic. This isn’t a lightly updated cruiser; the build reaches into the engine bay, suspension, braking system, cabin, and supporting hardware to give the first-year El Camino a much sharper, more modern personality while keeping the long-roofline-meets-pickup-bed silhouette that made these cars so memorable in the first place.
