This is 1959 APACHE 3100 STEP SIDE PICKUP!!! This truck was bought brand new in 1959. First production!! The man drove it home and wife got pissed so he drove it to the local bar. After getting lit he drove it home, but missed the driveway, and ended up in the field. It sat their for a year then his son moved it to the barn where it sat till 20 years ago. Then my friends dad purchased it from them for his wife, and started restoring it. 19 years later his wife had passed so he didn't have the heart to finish it. So I traded my all original Corvette for it even. Then I have spent thousands over the past couple of years completing it, but ran out of money, and now not physically capable to finish,and can't afford to pay someone too!! So having to sell it on here to one lucky person. The truck hasn't been titled since new. I do have the info from the original owner, and the last owner, but I will have o title it through Indiana before it is picked up, because I don't have the title yet. However I can get it no problem soon as it sells, and the money clears no problem. It has been a total frame off restoration!! Do to me being injured in the military, it comes with the side glass and one piece kit it will need installed the door panels put on all of that is included. Then the brakes will need bled, charged, and you can drive it anywhere!!! Everything is brand new mechanically: Has been started and have it running perfect. It has a 1959 wiring harness 82 Cutlass front clip disc brakes and 78 Camaro fuse panel, andsteering column.Brand new 1968 zero miles 327 Corvette engine Brand new zero miles turbo transmission B&M shift kit 2500 convertorpro comp cam and lifters built right by a master drag racing builder. Headers long with cutouts under the door as well as straight back with intergraded Glass Packs and chrome tips. one inch lined diameter stainless steel painted bumper on back for added weight to the rear wheels. In the bed of the truck is beautiful Hardwood cut down from a tree in Virginia while planning the wood we found a dated Civil War musket ball looks like gold so we left it in the third board over looks like a ball with the edgeshaved flat. the gas tank was removed from the cab and the cab was reinforced with metal behind the seat for the perfect curve and place for the sound system and 6 disk cd changer amp etc.. also for more leg room. The gas tank was installed under the bed using a Fox body tank corvette neck and a corvette flip up gas cap!!the mural on the back is the last ride of the Apache professionally done and signed!! This was my dream truck and still is, But I was hurt in the military and now in a wheelchair and Good old Uncle Sam is yet to give me my benefits so my family of 7 is having a hard time paying the bills so as much as that is hard to say!! This is equally as hard I must sell my truck to get us back on track so I have listed it for less then we have invested in it over the years. This has been a 20 year project, and just recently almost finished, but I am limited to what I can do so the door glass is left as well as bleeding the brakes. everything else is pretty much finished. oh the interior will need some trim pieces which I have also. If you have questions or want to see the other 100 pictures I have of the truck feel free to ask I also have most of the receipts. started collecting them when it got to the hard stuff thought that was a good idea incase of something like this happening!! I have this listed local so if it was to sell locally before someone bids on it I will have to stop the listing, but once a bid is in place it will sell to the highest bidder!! Thanks and God Bless you all!!! Pleaseremember your soldiers and the sacrifices they make even after coming home!!! Good luck bidding!! I know I am leaving a lot out but my memory isn't the best these days and this took a long time to type just this!! Please ask if you have any questions. I will answer them to the best of my ability nothing to hide about this beautiful truck. She doesn't even have a rusted bolt!! Thank You for looking and God Bless!!!

This truck appraised for $45,000, and I am not asking near that by no means. So get it while you can at a huge bargain price!! If uncle Sam took care of us vets. I wouldn't need to do this, but have to take care of my family first!!

I can have the truck finished and will have the lean free clean and clear title in hand before it is picked up once paid for. If you want me to finish it. The cost will be $500 extra to pay Vail's classic cars to do the work!! All that is needed is the door glass installed the door panels put on and door knobs installed, trim pieces installed for interior, and rear brakes bled. Then you can drive it home no problem!!
