1959 Chevrolet 3100 Apache pickup truck. The truck was repainted in it's original Glade Green 6 years ago. The truck runs, drives, and preforms perfectly with no known mechanical or electrical issues. The truck looks in person exactly as it appears in the photos. The truck has 55,222 true miles on it as documented. This truck can be driven any distance with confidence. I personally would not be afraid to drive the truck cross country. Hi and low beam head lights, brake lights, turn signals and tag light work perfectly. The interior dome light and dash lights work great so does all door and window handles. Truck starts up first time even after sitting for a couple of weeks. Choke works perfectly. Trucks 3 speed manual transmission shifts very smooth and effortlessly and the clutch engages as new. The brakes stop fast, straight and without noise of any kind. The truck tracts straight on the road with no pulling or vibrations. There are no squeaks or rattles. The 6 Cylinder Thrift Master 135 Horsepower engine is very smooth and responds quickly and effortlessly. The interior was refreshed also with the seat redone in original style upholstery and the bottom and back cushion were re-stuffed and set better than new. The headliner and rubber floor mat was removed and sound deadener and heat insulation was placed underneath the new mat. The bed floor was replaced with new wood planks. The sides on the bed were covered with a spray in bed liner for protection (see photo). The mileage is actual as stated on previous Tennessee title and in letter written by previous owner who has known the truck since new. Truck had never been out of Tennessee or over 50 miles from it's original home before I purchased it. The truck has new chrome wheels and wheel covers and the tires have 80% tread life remaining. The mileage on the truck (55,222) is actual and is documented by the last owner whose title shows "actual mileage" and a letter from him with a detailed history of the truck from new. I have a copy of his title stating "actual mileage" on the front and the original letter, signed by him, with the full history of the truck that will stay with the truck when sold. The following parts were recently replaced during my ownership:Throttle Knob and CableChoke Knob and CableNew Chrome Air Cleaner Assembly and Air Element. I kept the original Oil Bath air cleaner and it will be with the truck when sold.New NOS Windshield Motor. The original motor is included with the truck.Oil Filter Element.Thermostat 160 degree with new gasketGlass bowl gas filter element.Dome lamp lens and bulb.

Almost $300.00 in parts from Classic Truck Parts and $400.00 in labor to a well known local mechanic who specializes in these vehicles was spent installing the above replacement parts within the past 4 months. The Chassis was Lubed, Oil and Filter Changed, All Fluid Levels were checked and the Tire pressures were checked at the same time the above parts were installed. Approx. 200 miles and 4 months ago. I have receipts for parts and labor. I have a NEW (1 month old) Custom Fitted truck cover from California Car Covers that was purchased at a cost in excess of $300.00 that will also go with the truck. See Photo of Car Cover. The truck has a scratch on drivers door (see pic), small dent on Left front fender above tire (see pic), paint is 6 years old and shines like new but body was not prepped as well as should have been and there is dust and small bits of trash under the paint on the flat surfaces (mostly on hood). Some of this may buff out but I have not tried since I am very happy with the appearance. In my opinion paint is a 6 out of 10 and looks perfect at 20 feet but rough surface under paint areas show at closer distances, mostly on hood. I took photos of the hood but the rough area did not show. Good driver quality paint. Very minor windshield delamination at edge. All trim was removed during repaint and new rubber seals were installed around all windows. The truck is located at our home in Bluefield, WV 24701. It is kept covered in our garage. Reason for selling: I'm retired and recently diagnosed with a disease that makes mobility difficult and I have stopped all driving. I don't want this truck to just sit in the garage. I know I am offering the truck at a price much lower than it should sale for but the above stated reason is why. I do require an immediate $500.00 deposit through PayPal with the balance due within 7 days. The balance of the purchase price after the deposit is made must be paid by Cash or Bank Wire Transfer for the seller to be given the title at that time. If a Bank Certified Check is used I will have to hold the title until the bank notifies me that the check has cleared. The truck is being sold "as is" with no warranties or guarantees of any kind.
