1957 Chevrolet Apache
Resto-Mod Pickup
This is a awesome looking and sounding 1957 Chevrolet Apache. Almost everything has been re-done on this truck. It is powered by a Chevy 350 cu.in. V-8 with a 350 turbo automatic transmission. The engine is very strong and the transmission shifts very smooth. The engine has a large Cam. This coupled with short pipes and small glass pack mufflers give the truck a really good thump. Everyone will know you are coming before you get there. The engine compartment is very clean. Lots of chrome to dress the engine. The battery and the power brake booster are mounted on the frame under the cab to allow for a smooth firewall.
The front end boasts a Fat Man Mustang II suspension. This is coupled with a Nova rear end. The power brakes are disc on the front and drum on the rear.
The gas tank has been moved to under the bed. This eliminates the gas smell in the cab and gives you storage/speaker room behind the front seat.
The door handles have been shaved and electric door poppers installed. A rolled pan has been added to the rear. The hood and front fender emblems have been removed to give the whole truck a clean, smooth look. All of the chrome is in great shape. There is just enough to add the right finishing touch to the truck. This includes the front bumper, grill, wipers, side view mirror and headlight bezels. The grill is actually a 55.
While not perfect, the bright red paint job is very, very nice. The truck was never wet sanded after painting and there is a orange peel effect to the paint. A spray in bed liner really adds to the appearance and usefulness of this truck.
The interior has been completely re-done including the door panels, kick panels with speakers, seat, headliner and carpet. The truck is equipped with lap seatbelts. New chrome door handles and window cranks have been installed. The instruments are in a digital dash cluster. A Lokar shifter has been added. The heater and defrost controls are in the glove box. Both work well. A detatchable face CD player is mounted in the dash. A tilt column makes the cab more driver friendly.
All glass and rubber have been replaced. The side windows were replaced with one piece glass to eliminate wind noise from vent windows. The side windows and rear glass are tinted. The electric wipers work well.
The wheels are chrome Cragars and have 160 80 r15 tires in the front and 255 50 r15 in the rear. While the truck does not have power steering, the small front tires make turning easy.
I have described this truck to the best of my ability. I am sure I may have overlooked something. I encourage you to inspect the truck before bidding. I am happy to make the truck available during the auction to you or your inspection representative. This is not a trailer queen. It is a very nice quality driver. The mileage is not actual. It was reset to zero when the digital gauge cluster was added. The mileage is subject to change as I continue to drive the truck.
I reserve the right to end the auction early as the truck is for sale locally.
I do not offer shipping. However, I will be happy to work with the winning bidder's shipper in getting the truck to you. All shipping costs will be paid by the buyer.
Thank you for your interest and Happy Bidding!

Feds open investigation into Chevy Express, Ford Freestar rust issues
Wed, 28 Dec 2011'Tis the season... for road salt. And with that, comes rust. And what does rust bring? Well, for Ford and General Motors, a National Highway Traffic Safety Administration investigation. According to The Detroit News, NHTSA is looking into potential recalls issues with Chevrolet Express vans and Ford Freestar minivans.
The feds have received five complaints that rust has caused leaking fuel filler pipes on 2003 Express vans. Separately, seven complaints have been filed over excessive rust in the rear wheel wells of 2004 Ford Freestar and Mercury Monterey minivans. The Freestar and Monterey went out of production in 2007. Neither issue has resulted in any crashes or injuries, according to the report.
C7 Corvette makes inaugural ad appearance in Chevy's first spot with new slogan
Mon, 11 Feb 2013Chevrolet's "Runs Deep" tagline has finally been run into the ground, replaced with the Bowtie brand's "Find New Roads" slogan that's part of parent General Motors' plan to unify its everyday brand's marketing efforts worldwide. The new Chevrolet campaign was ushered in on prime time last night during the Grammy Awards on CBS, and the first spot, a 90-second full-line ad, also marks the first appearance of the 2014 Corvette Stingray in a commercial.
Being a full-line ad, the commercial is composed of vignettes centered on different vehicles in the brand's lineup. The all-new 2014 Impala also makes its first commercial appearance in dapper fashion, and time is spent on a skateboarding Sonic and a bouquet of brightly colored Spark hatchbacks driven by fashionable women. The ad starts and ends with Chevy's green halo car, the Volt, along with a young girl with her robotic dog (yes, really).
Chevrolet's "Runs Deep" campaign got off to a rocky start in the fall of 2010, but it did last for a couple of years with some tweaks. This new one, "Find New Roads" seems more intent on drawing new customers into the fold than the outgoing tagline, which seemed to play more toward the brand faithful. It admittedly reminds us more than a little the short-lived "Find Your Own Road" Saab motto (which, we note, was conceived while the Swedish brand was under GM's control), but no matter, we still think it's got more long-term potential than "Runs Deep."
Why does the Corvette Stingray have so many vents? Here's why
Sun, 27 Jan 2013Just looking at the new 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray, it's not hard to see that the car's design was created with aerodynamics at the forefront, but Chevrolet designers point out exactly what went into designing the iconic coupe in a pair of recently released videos. The videos show the Corvette going through early design phases, including clay models and wind tunnel tests, as well as talking to the car's chief engineer, Tadge Juechter.
Both videos help explain various aspects of the C7 Corvette, but it's the aero tuning of the car that is most interesting. This includes extra attention paid to the lower air dam and vented hood to help reduce drag and lift, while the rear quarter inlets are for differential and transmission cooling. Juechter said that some of these aero-tuned elements were inspired from GM's involvement in racing.
If you have about five minutes and you can't get enough information about the new 'Vette, then check out the videos posted below.
