Todays truck is a custom 1959 Chevrolet Apache 3100 1/2 ton Stepside Pickup. This truck is owned by David Riles. The color is a great green combination, David say he calls it money $Green$. The bed detail with the matching color wood is great touch. If you have not guess Davids favorite color, yes it is green. It is powered by a 350 cu in 5.7 liter Chevy engine with a 270° cam and transfers that power through a 4-speed 700R4 automatic transmission with overdrive. Delivering that power to the rear wheels through 3.73 t0 1 rear end gear ratio. It has a Volare front end and the rear fenders were widen 2 inches. The original MSRP: Base Price in 1959 was $1,986.00. Total production for all 1959 Chevrolet trucks built was 353,509.
I saw this truck at Ladera the Mid-city Cars and Coffee that meets on the 2nd and 4th Saturday of the month from 9-11AM at the South West Corner of W Centinela Ave and S. La Tijera behind 99 cents store which is located at 6921 S la Tijera Blvd Los Angeles, CA 90045
This is a beautiful truck and the attention detail was not spared. Thanks for riding along. Frank
