YOU ARE BIDDING ON AN EXTREMELY RARE AND SOUGHT AFTER 1959 CHEVY APACHE TRUCK EQUIPPED WITH THE NAPCO (NORTHWESTERN AUTO PARTS COMPANY) 4X4 CONVERSION. THIS RARE TRUCK WAS RESTORED APPROX 6 YEARS AGO AND LOOKS AMAZING. IF YOU ARE FAMILIAR WITH THESE TRUCKS THAN YOU KNOW WHAT YOU ARE LOOKING AT. IF NOT SEE BELOW FOR A BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THESE AMAZING TRUCKS. NAPCO" stands for the "Northwestern Auto Parts Company" of Minneapolis, MN., though their production facility was actually Located in Plymouth, MN. I've been told that the abandoned old plant Still stands with a weathered sign posted, sadly advertising times gone by. NAPCO had been in business since 1918, and during W.W.II, they focused all their attention on projects commissioned by prime Contractors to the United States government. Mainly, this meant the production of specialized automotive parts and assemblies that could be tested on the largest proving ground in the world. After the war, the military's priorities changed, and NAPCO re-directed its vast Engineering and manufacturing experience to the production of goods for private industry, which included the production of the famous NAPCO Power-Pak 4x4 Conversion. BELOW IS THE ORIGINAL NAPCO TELEVISION ADVERTISMENT. IT SHOWS THE CAPABILITY OF THESE TRUCKS AND PROVIDES SOME GREAT INFORMATION AND PICTURES. (WORTH WATCHING!) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x5LYTkRjdno BELOW YOU WILL FIND A COMPLETE BREAKDOWN OF THE TRUCK INCLUDING A "RATING" SYSTEM TO BEST DESCRIBE THE EXTENT OF THE RESTORATION AND THE OVERAL APPEARANCE OF THE TRUCK. EXTERIOR: (8/10) THE EXTERIOR OF THIS APACHE IS IN GREAT CONDITION WITH BRIGHT RED PAINT. I AM CALLING IT A "8" DUE TO A COUPLE MINOR BLEMISHES IN THE PAINT. ONE IS JUST BELOW THE GAS CAP JUST BEHIND THE DRIVERS DOOR AND THE OTHER IS AT THE BOTTOM OF THE DRIVERS DOOR. THESE ARE SLIGHT IMPERFECTIONS IN THE PAINT AND ARE DIFFICULT TO SEE UNLESS YOU ARE RIGHT ON TOP OF THEM. THE INTERIOR IS IN GREAT SHAPE!! TRUCK IS EQIPPED WITH AIR CONDITIONING!!

ALL APPROPRIATE DECALS ARE ON THE TRUCK AND CAN BE FOUND IN THE CORRECT PLACES FROM THE FACTORY. THERE ARE MINOR CUSTOM ADDITIONS TO THIS TRUCK INCLUDING CUSTOM EXHAUST, A CUSTOM “DIAMOND PLATE” BED AND BRAND NEWER TIRES. THE CHOME ON THE CAR IS IN GOOD CONDITION. THERE ARE NO DINGS OR DENTS ON THE BODY. ALL GLASS IS IN TACT AND IN GREAT SHAPE. THE ENGINE IS A 283 V8 AND HAS BEEN COMPLETELY REBUILT AND HAS ONLY 5000 MILES SINCE COMPLETION. THE TRUCK IS A MANUAL 4 SPEED WITH “GRANNY LOW”. TRUCK RUNS AND SHIFTS PERFECTLY. INTERIOR: (8.5/10) THE INTERIOR IS ALSO IN GREAT SHAPE..... THE SEAT IS A BLACK/GREY CLOTH BENCH SEAT WITH ROOM FOR 3. ALL INTERIOR INSTUMENTS WORK AS THEY SHOULD AND ARE IN ORIGINAL CONDITION.
