Up for sale is my 1961 Chevrolet Apache 20 (3/4 ton) BIG WINDOW Custom Cab pickup. It is a very hard to find model just in being a 1961, but is even rarer that is came as you see it with the highly sought after Custom Cab stainless steel cab and body mouldings. It has all of its original wood bed floor and is undented inside the bed because it had a camper shell on it all its life. The tailgate is perfect and undented too. It has the original #'s matching 235 straight 6 cylinder engine coupled to its original 3 speed manual transmission that came w/ the bigger optional 11" clutch. It has a new clutch, new brakes all around, new carbeurator and runs like a sewing machine. It only has 56K actual miles on it, and was kept in a pole barn all its life and just driven locally. However, the weather beat at the passenger side because of how it was always parked, so the pass side sheetmetal is quite a bit rustier than the drivers side but I have a replacement passenger side front fender, passenger door and although not really needed, I even have a spare passenger side bedside if someone wants these at extra cost to help restore it. I also have a more solid 60-61 bubble hood someone could buy to use in the restoration. It has the usual rust holes along the door jamb sill plate and a few in the corners of the floorpan where the kick panel meets the floor board but does not look to need pans. I think all can be fixed with usual patching. Will need outer cab floor work and probably rockers and cab corners as expected. The rear window is cracked badly but I have a replacement that goes with the truck. Door bottom on drivers door needs typical work, and pass side door needs full replacement. Drivers front fender is decent and workable, but not the pass side - it needs replaced. The grill support and radiator supports need work or replacement. Overall, its a great driver and "patina truck" in that it sports 100% of its original Red and White paint and the kick panel tag reflects the correct rare red and white factory paint and trim codes. The SUPER RARE stainless trim is all pretty much in tact minus the pass side door piece and some of it will need dings and dents removed if you restore it for show. Everything on this truck works I think - the radio hole is cut and needs to be fixed. I drive in occasionally and it has never smoked, or tried to not run - very dependable engine and total drivetrain. The 3 speed column has been known to hang up occasionally but that could be because I am terrible at driving a manual trans truck. All my others are automatics. Call Steve at 256-486-1988 to ask questions - Come see and drive it in Joppa AL 35087 (a few miles outside Arab AL 35016).
