Up for auction is a 1959 Apache 3100 1/2 ton pick up. This truck is not a trailer queen (show truck) I didnt build it to be a show truck, but a truck that I can drive everyday. But it would not take much to turn this truck into a show truck. This truck had a frame off restoration. The frame was cleaned and coated with P.O.R.15 chassis paint and top coated with semi gloss black. The cab was sand blasted and the floor was also coated with P.O.R.15 inside the cab and under the cab. The cab corners were replaced and the cab was mounted to the frame with new hardware. The fenders where also blasted and epoxied primed before the paint was applied. The bed has custom made cyprus wood boards installed with stainless steel bed rails and hardware. The bed chains are new and are stainless steel The hood has new hinges and springs The paint on the truck is a a single stage Firethorn red metallic flake. The paint is not perfect but still looks nice. All the glass in the truck is good, but there is a spot on the corner of the windshield where a piece of gravel came up and popped it.  The spot can be fixed but I haven't carried it to the glass shop yet. The front grille, headlight bezels, mirrors and bumpers are chrome and are brand new. The tail light housings are stainless steel and are new also along with thier brackets. The wiring harness is a new easy wire 22 circuit harness that i installed. everything works in the truck headlights, tail lights, blinkers, hazards, horn, etc. the windshield wipers have been converted into electric and are 2 speed wipers. The Good Year tires are brand new on the truck. The truck has a newly rebuilt 327 in it with a new Holley 650 carb with electric choke. I put a Contender intake on the engine and a mild street and strip cam in it. The transmission is a 700r4 automatic with overdrive and with a console shifter. The radiator is a new 3 row aluminum radiator with a custom built fan shroud.  I put a serpentine belt system on the engine. Inside the cab you have tilt steering with a Grant custom 15" steering wheel and a set of black leather seats. The driver seat is power the passenger seat is not. The instrument panel is a custom insert to hold the gauges, And the console was custom built for the truck. The gauges are all Autometer guages and all work great. The sunvisors and rear view mirror are new as is the glove box. The door handles and window handles are original to the truck. The headliner has been replaced and new carpet with jute padding installed, The doors open and close correctly, and the windows roll up and down correctly. window seals are new and the hood to cowl seal, and rubber hood and door bumpers are new. The door seals have not been put in place yet. I have the door seals and 3M seal adhesive just haven't installed them yet.

I have some pictures of the truck  while being restored posted so you can get a idea of what went into the truck.

The front of the original chasis has grafted onto it a front clip from a 78 Camaro. All the parts are new including the disc brakes and brake lines. The rear end is a posi traction and came off a 1979 Trans Am and the drum  brakes and lines are new on it also. The gas tank was moved to the rear of the truck frame and is a new 16 gallon tank all fuel lines are new.

The truck has dual Flow master exhaust that come out under the bed steps

There is no heat or A/C in this truck, although the heater connections are there. and there is a working a/C compressor on the engine

The truck has power steering and power brakes

This is a great running truck with the rare 327 engine. A nice truck at a fair price that you can jump into and drive any where.

I'am not a dealer, I just like restoring old trucks and getting them back on the road

If you have any questions or need more pictures you can email me or call 256-689-6401

My wife made a video of the truck running and driving (sorry about the back ground noise was windy when the video was made)) click on the link to see the video   https://skydrive.live.com/?cid=18808559549ca91d&id=18808559549CA91D%213913&v=3&sff=1

 I had some questions concerning the video of the truck. In the part of the video where I open and close the passenger door. I show how the door closes smoothly and I push and pull the door to show that the door closes tightly. Both the drivers door and passengers door operate smoothly and close firmly. In the part of the video where I show the engine running. I let the truck idle in park for a while then I get into the truck and put it nto drive and let it idle for a bit in drive. You can hear this in the video when the engine idles down when shifted into drive. And then idles back up again when put back into drive.

A deposit of $500.00 dollars is required through Paypal within 24 hours of end of auction unless other arrangements have been made with me. The rest of the payment is due within 3 days unless other arrangements have been made with me and payment can be sent over night in cashiers check or wire transfer to my bank. Or you can come pick up the truck if you like.

Thanks but I'am not interested in  trades

Sorry, but I'am not a buy here pay here lot. I can not do financing

Buyer is responsible for shipping of the truck

I can keep the truck stored here for a while until your shipper picks the truck up or you come and get it.

In Alabama a vehicle older then 1976 is not required to have a title. I will give the buyer a notorized affadavit from the state of Alabama staating that a title is not required on vehicles older the 1976, And a signed registrsation, and notorized bill of sale. I have sold trucks to england and florida and the folks never had a problem. But check with your D.M.V. to be sure on what documents are required

The truck is being sold "As Is" with no warranty expressed or implied

GM may kill 6 car models as it works with UAW to tackle sales slump

Fri, Jul 21 2017

The president of the United Auto Workers union said on Thursday the union is talking with General Motors about the potential threat to plants and jobs from slumping U.S. car sales. GM's response will be more trucks and SUVs, and sources say at least six slow-selling car models may be killed off. "We are talking to (GM) right now about the products that they currently have" at underused car plants such as Hamtramck in Michigan and Lordstown in Ohio, and whether they might be replaced with newer, more popular vehicles such as crossovers, Dennis Williams told reporters. "We are tracking it (and) we are addressing it," Williams added. GM has cut shifts at several U.S. plants this year as inventories of unsold cars have ballooned. Industry analysts said more jobs could be at risk as the automaker wrestles with permanently shrinking production of small and midsized sedans. GM is reviewing whether to cancel at least six passenger cars in the U.S. market after 2020, including the Chevrolet Volt hybrid, which could be replaced in 2022 with a new gasoline-electric crossover model, Reuters has learned from people familiar with the plans. Other GM cars at risk include the Buick LaCrosse, Cadillac CT6, Cadillac XTS, Chevrolet Impala and Chevrolet Sonic, sources said. Some analysts have singled out GM's Hamtramck plant in Detroit as one of the most vulnerable because of plummeting car sales. The plant, which opened in 1985, builds four slow-selling models: Buick LaCrosse, Chevrolet Impala, Cadillac CT6 and Chevrolet Volt. In the first half, it built fewer than 35,000 cars, down 32 percent from the same period in 2016, according to suppliers familiar with GM's U.S. production schedule. The typical GM assembly plant builds 200,000-300,000 vehicles a year.COMING ATTRACTIONS: TRUCKS AND SUVS GM must "create some innovative new products" to replace slow-selling sedans "or start closing plants," said Sam Fiorani, vice president of AutoForecast Solutions. The auto maker already has begun to shift future production plans from cars to trucks, according to Morgan Stanley auto analyst John Murphy. He estimates that fewer than 10 percent of the new vehicle models that GM will introduce over the next four years will be passenger cars, with the rest divided among trucks, SUVs and crossovers. GM plans to add production of the new Cadillac XT4 crossover next year to its Malibu sedan plant in Fairfax, Kansas.

Chevy confirms Corvette Stingray Convertible for Geneva

Thu, 07 Feb 2013

Want proof that General Motors has increased global ambitions for its 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray? It's staging the world premiere of the model's convertible variant at the Geneva Motor Show early next month.
As previously rumored, the droptop rendered above will debut at the Swiss show, making its first appearance anywhere on March 5. According to Susan Docherty, president and managing director of Chevrolet, the location makes sense because Corvette "...is an icon that has long been recognized and admired even in countries where it's never officially been offered."
While neither Chevrolet nor the Corvette has a major sales presence in Switzerland, the Bowtie's European headquarters is located in Zurich (about three hours to the northeast of Geneva) and GM has made it clear that it wants to build the Chevrolet brand up across Europe.

A car writer's year in new vehicles [w/video]

Thu, Dec 18 2014

Christmas is only a week away. The New Year is just around the corner. As 2014 draws to a close, I'm not the only one taking stock of the year that's we're almost shut of. Depending on who you are or what you do, the end of the year can bring to mind tax bills, school semesters or scheduling dental appointments. For me, for the last eight or nine years, at least a small part of this transitory time is occupied with recalling the cars I've driven over the preceding 12 months. Since I started writing about and reviewing cars in 2006, I've done an uneven job of tracking every vehicle I've been in, each year. Last year I made a resolution to be better about it, and the result is a spreadsheet with model names, dates, notes and some basic facts and figures. Armed with this basic data and a yen for year-end stories, I figured it would be interesting to parse the figures and quantify my year in cars in a way I'd never done before. The results are, well, they're a little bizarre, honestly. And I think they'll affect how I approach this gig in 2015. {C} My tally for the year is 68 cars, as of this writing. Before the calendar flips to 2015 it'll be as high as 73. Let me give you a tiny bit of background about how automotive journalists typically get cars to test. There are basically two pools of vehicles I drive on a regular basis: media fleet vehicles and those available on "first drive" programs. The latter group is pretty self-explanatory. Journalists are gathered in one location (sometimes local, sometimes far-flung) with a new model(s), there's usually a day of driving, then we report back to you with our impressions. Media fleet vehicles are different. These are distributed to publications and individual journalists far and wide, and the test period goes from a few days to a week or more. Whereas first drives almost always result in a piece of review content, fleet loans only sometimes do. Other times they serve to give context about brands, segments, technology and the like, to editors and writers. So, adding up the loans I've had out of the press fleet and things I've driven at events, my tally for the year is 68 cars, as of this writing. Before the calendar flips to 2015, it'll be as high as 73. At one of the buff books like Car and Driver or Motor Trend, reviewers might rotate through five cars a week, or more. I know that number sounds high, but as best I can tell, it's pretty average for the full-time professionals in this business.
