I have up for sale my 1959 Chevy Apache 38.  This is a barn find and has been mostly kept in barn find shape.  The Title on "Mater" As my kids call him says make is from the Cherokee Manufacturing Company where it was born as a grain\livestock combo with a lift bed.  The truck itself has 77,450 miles on it but the motor is not original. The Manual transmission shifts fine and sounds like the old typical 4 speed from the past.  The rearend center section was a 5.32 Gear ratio and changed for something a little more road friendly and now is a 4.10 gear and the motor thanks me for that. The motor is a 400 cu inch with a 2 barrell carb. The carburator was rebuilt and runs good now, and the ignition is HEI instead of the old points.  The 400 expells its bark through Headers to 3in. exhaust to dual stacks. The stacks are muffled and not straight pipes so they give off a nice deep mellow tone but sound great. The original grain/livestock combo bed was stripped off and a new flatbed was built to fit this truck, and retains the hydraulic dump bed (works). The Custom built flatbed has fold down sides and are removeable, and also has a hideaway gooseneck ball.   All lights work on the truck and all the lights in the flatbed are LED.  As for the Interior in the truck, I have a seat from a dodge in it just taking place until the original got re-upholstered.  The original fits a little better and will go with the truck as will the original bed if wanted.  The Deluxe heater was fully rebuilt with new coil, valve and cables and controls.  This truck is a mans truck and takes a good arm to drive, as there is no power steering (not for sissys).  The brakes work good but are not updated and still manual brakes, again you need a heavy foot for the beast.  I believe the only thing that does not work are the old original vacuum windshield wipers, they move but don't move too fast..  The tires are period correct and as they are good for around town, I wouldn't trust them on a 1000 mile trip only because of their age.  I have driven this truck quite a bit since I have gotten it done and love to drive and get the attention it deserves.  I am selling so I can get on with another project I have stewing in my head.   I must stress this truck is old school and there are no hot flashy extras and not updated for weiners. So here it is bid if you like it and win if you want it and you will have a unique REAL AS IT GETS, old truck. I will be happy to answer questions if you have them.  I have the truck for sale locally and if my price is met locally I will reserve the right to end the auction at anytime.
