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 will recall more than 3.3 million vehicles in China for suspension defect

Sat, Sep 29 2018

BEIJING (Reuters) - General Motors' joint venture in China, Shanghai GM, will recall more than 3.3 million Buick, Chevrolet and Cadillac vehicles stating Oct. 20 because of a defect with the suspension system, China's market regulator said on Saturday. GM Shanghai said in a text message to Reuters that the suspension arm may be deformed under extreme operating conditions, but there are no known casualties related to the issue. The recall includes cars produced between 2013 and 2018, the State Administration for Market Regulation said in a statement. GM will contact those affected and repair the vehicles free of charge, it said.

Chevy Crossvolt name kept alive in new trademark application

Fri, Dec 26 2014

In April 2011 General Motors submitted a trademark application with the US Patent and Trademark Office for the word "Crossvolt." In November of this year, the application expired for lack of a statement of use. But in August of this year, GM applied again for the same trademark, leading some to believe that it intends to apply the name to a vehicle. That vehicle could explain the mule in sliced-and-diced Chevrolet Orlando bodywork caught in several spy shots this year, theorized to be some kind of Toyota Prius V or Ford C-Max Hybrid competitor; or it could be a production version of the Chevrolet Volt MP5 concept showed off at the Beijing Motor Show in 2010, which was about the same size as the Chevy Orlando. Or it could be none of those things – but the fact that Chevrolet is keeping it current makes us believe it will be... something.
