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! |

GM Recalling Another 2.7 Million Vehicles In Five Separate Campaigns
Thu, May 15 2014The recalls keep rolling in from General Motors, evidently keen to avoid repeating the mistakes of the ignition-switch debacle and clean house. This time they're all coming at once, with five separate recalls announced together covering approximately 2.7 million vehicles. The largest of the five actions involves over 2.4 million units of the previous-generation Chevrolet Malibu and Malibu Maxx, Pontiac G6 and Saturn Aura in order to fix brake light wiring harness, which have been found to be susceptible to corrosion. The recall is separate from the 56k Aura sedans which GM recently recalled over faulty shift cables, not to mention the previous massive recall of 1.3 million vehicles – some of them the same models – but appears to have resulted from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration investigation that started with the G6 almost a year ago. The second-largest campaign involves the 2014 Chevy Malibu, specifically those fitted with GM's 2.5-liter engine and stop/start system, approximately 140,000 examples of which has been found to have problematic brakes. The issue does not appear to be connected to the recall of 8k Malibu and Buick LaCrosse sedans (also involving brake woes) which we reported upon last week. Four crashes have been reported in such models, but GM admits it's not yet clear if the problem was a contributing factor in the accidents. A further 112k Corvette models from the 2005-2007 model years are being called in for problems with their low-beam headlamps resulting from a flexing relay control circuit wire that's not meant to bend. GM says it is "aware of several hundred complaints" about this issue, but notes that there have been no reports of related accidents. In addition, over 19k examples of Cadillac CTS from the 2013 and 2014 model years are being recalled over windshield wipers that might not work after a jump start. Finally, GM is also bringing in 477 examples of its 2014 Chevy Silverado, Tahoe and GMC Sierra (though not the Yukon) to fix a problem with a tie rod in its steering rack. As ever, all recall repairs will be performed free of charge, and GM is now estimating that recall-related actions this quarter will result in an estimated $200-million charge against its second-quarter earnings. Read the full announcement from GM below for further details.
