1959 Chevrolet Apache
A highly customised single cab utility finished in a patina-style sun-baked Blue, showing an indicated 4,397 miles. This Apache is powered by a 350ci (5.7-litre) Chevrolet V8 paired with an automatic transmission, combining classic 1950s truck styling with modern performance components and bespoke fabrication work.
This example has undergone an extensive rebuild, featuring a fully custom chassis, upgraded suspension with air-ride, custom interior, and a range of performance upgrades including a late-model rear end with Posi unit. Built as a Rat Rod-inspired cruiser, it presents with a deliberate aged aesthetic paired with modern drivability improvements.
Chevrolet Apache Model History
Introduced for 1958, the Chevrolet Apache formed part of Chevy’s Task Force truck lineup, known for its updated styling, improved comfort, and V8 power options. The 1959 models featured dual headlamps, revised trim, and a more modern interior layout, making them a standout in the emerging American light-truck market. Today, Apaches are popular platforms for restoration, custom builds and hot-rod projects, appreciated for their proportions, simple engineering and widespread aftermarket support.
