1961 Chevrolet C10 Stepside Pickup Patina RWD Apache - Extraordinary Shape!

You are looking at a

1961 Chevy Apache Stepside Pickup Truck

This Apache is quite unique due to the list offactory original optionsand since it retains the desirable patina of a very solid sunbaked California truck:

Factory custom cab with large back window, V8, powerglide automatic transmission, Power brakes and power steering.

Factory gauge cluster with tachometer. Most have speedo and idiot warning lights. This is a California truck with no rust issues.

Appears this was not a work truck since the bed sides were not beat up.

I kept it as original rather than modernize but did add rear air bags and adjustable panhard bar to center and level the stance.

Runs and rides very smooth.

No engine noises and no rattles. Engine is a 327 Cu In Chevy V-8 from a 67 Camaro. I do believe it was rebuilt along the way since it is a very dry engine with no major leaks from anywhere.

List of Major Improvements

Interior completely restored including factory original gauge cluster with FACTORY Tachometer.

New front and rear glass including rubber weatherstripping.

All new door weather strip and window felt.

Needs attention.....

- Power steering control valve leaks and transmissions lines leak due to several splices. One good line and this issue could be easily resolved.

- Small paint separation on the upper inside corner of the cab....see photo.

- Truck will sometimes jump out of park at idle even though a new parking prawl was installed when rebuilt. For now, truck is kept in neutral with parking brake on.

- Factory tach and battery gauge are original and do not read exactly accurate. They would have to be re-calibrated to be accurate.
