1961 Chevrolet Apache Chevy 1 Ton Stepside Truck 2x4 on 2040-cars
Woodford, Virginia, United States
Helllo , up for sale is my 1961 Chevy Apache ,step side 1 ton 2x4. It has the original 235 i6 and bulldog 4 speed shift on floor.
Picked it up from MI a few years back as a project and have fixed it up to running (and braking ) but still need a little more TLC to be 100% road worthy IMO. I have all papers on work done and I will list. in 04/2011 to get it running master cylinder was replaced Carb. was rebuilt with new kit Fuel Filter Points and Condensers replaced Spark plugs as well 08/2011 Oil pressure switch replaced. The one that was put on , the wire broke so I have a new aftermarket one in glove box and used it. Putting out around 42psi right and left brake cylinders New brake lines flanged and replaced brakes adjusted. Took to body shop had the only rust (on passenger door jamb) removed and replaced with metal and paint a flat black. 11/2012 had slave cylinder replaced Thermostat Radiator flush and seal 11/2013 battery and terminals replaced. Since purchase not even 400 miles have been put on it. The original wood bed is still on this truck ,someone welded a steel plate over it and that is the bed, it has some rust on the plate welded down. It is a strong runner ,have had it doing 60 mph which impressed me . It does smoke a lot when starting up and running, burning oil. I know it will need all seals and rings replaced soon. It will start and drive but after driving for a good distance it wants to shut off and takes a while to start again, I'm thinking floater in carb. Still has original split rims as well. I do not think the badges are correct as it says 3800 apache. I think I looked into it and the 1 ton with vin starting with C are C-20 's, these are a farmer package option(third party info). It has a mounted tool box on one step side and spare tire on other. I love how it looks and sounds but no time for the extra time to get it where I want it . Gets a lot of attention when on the road as it is now can imagine when finished. Gas gauge does not work either does horn. Lights and blinker work fine. Tires roll with the best of them but sides are showing wear and creases. I drove on them fine. I have money tied in this project plus truck itself and I do not need to sell it so please email me with any questions or comments as I'm new to the Apache lingo . If I stated something incorrect about truck please inform as well. Like I said I have looked at other Apache models at shows ,online ,stovebolt forum and have not seen many like this at all. I will upload more pics of anything anyone would like just let me know. There is nothing to hide , truck is old and not is perfect shape. The only reason I'm open to sell it is my garage has toys in it I can't keep up with now and hate to have this just sit in the elements. Thanks for looking! |

Chevy Corvette Stingray picks up another award, this time from Automobile
Mon, 18 Nov 2013The new Chevrolet Corvette Stingray has picked up another buff book accolade after capturing Road and Track's Performance Car of the Year award. The seventh-generation of America's sports car (sorry Viper, Mustang, et al.) has been named Automobile Magazine's Automobile of the Year.
Automobile's award to the Corvette over competitors is the mirror image of its rival Motor Trend, which named the Cadillac CTS its car of the year over the C7. The CTS was, according to the Automobile team, the closest contender to the mighty Stingray. Great news all around for General Motors it seems.
As for what pushed the Corvette past its distant, four-door cousin, Automobile commended its excellent, 6.2-liter V8 calling the car's performance "simply awesome" while also remarking that it is easier to drive fast than ever before thanks to steering and chassis tweaks. Following a theme set by other publications, there were also plaudits for the interior, of all things, with the buff book complimenting the car's ergonomics and material quality, while also praising the standard seats.
2016 Green Truck of the Year, Commercial Green Car of the Year finalists
Sat, Oct 24 2015Not only are commercial-grade haulers getting more green love lately, they're getting more different kinds of green love. The 2016 Green Truck of the Year, the second time the award has been handed out, is being decided by judges from Green Car Journal and the San Antonio Auto & Truck Show. This year the award is joined by the new 2016 Commercial Green Car of the Year, which crowns one of the little vans increasingly used by small business as cargo and delivery vehicles. The Green Truck of the Year finalists are the Chevrolet Colorado Duramax (pictured), Ford F-150, GMC Canyon Duramax, Nissan Titan XD, and Toyota Tacoma. The first three of those were on last year's list, but since they are completely new or upgraded for 2016 - Ford with its all-aluminum body, the General Motors twins with the new diesel Duramax engine - they qualify for entry again. The Ram 1500 EcoDiesel won last year. The Commercial Green Car finalists are the Chevrolet City Express, Ford Transit Connect, Mercedes-Benz Metris, Nissan NV200, and Ram ProMaster City. You can read more details in the presser below, and the awards will be announced in San Antonio sometime during the show from November 19-22. San Antonio Auto & Truck Show Announces 2016 Green Truck of the Year and Commercial Green Car of the Year Finalists SAN ANTONIO, Oct. 22, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Green Car Journal and the San Antonio Auto & Truck Show have announced finalists for the 2016 Green Truck of the Year™ and 2016 Commercial Green Car of the Year™ awards.

Vying for the all-new 2016 Commercial Green Car of the Year™ award are the Chevrolet City Express, Ford Transit Connect, Mercedes-Benz Metris, Nissan NV200, and Ram ProMaster City. "Over the past few decades, new car models have benefitted from design and technology improvements that have brought higher fuel efficiency and greater levels of environmental compatibility," said Green Car Journal and CarsOfChange.com Editor and Publisher Ron Cogan. "With models like these ten deserving finalists, we're witnessing the pickup and light commercial vehicle field enjoying the same attention." The new Commercial Green Car of the Year™ award is part of an expanded awards program presented at this year's 2015 San Antonio Auto & Truck Show.
