1958 Chevy Apache Pickup Big Window Long Bed

Description for Chevrolet Other Pickups 1958

This is what I know about it:V8 engine runs good. 3-speed on the column shifts very smooth. does not pop out of any gears when driving. Clutch will chatter if you are not careful to either feather it good when letting it out. or just let it out quickly. Drives straight and smooth. Brakes work good. I've had it on the freeway. The speedometer stopped working so I don't know how many miles on it. The rear tires only have a few miles on them. the front I don't know. but plenty of tread. The original generator / regulator went bad. so I put a new single wire alternator in it that works. The brackets holding it on are not meant to be permanent. just for getting around town the past few years. It has the usual rust. The driver's step is rusted. I have a new one needs to be put on. The doors have some rust in the bottoms. The bed is just plywood thrown over the existing bed frame. If someone wants more pictures or better descriptions please contact me. All of the grease zerk fittings took grease the first try. The suspension looks very well preserved. I changed the coolant. engine. transmission and differential fluids and the old fluids came out normal without any metal or contamination seen. Around only 50 miles or so and a few years since those fluids were changed. Some of the pictures when it was green were when I first got it. Then we lightly hit it with scotch brite / light sand paper and hit it with cheap primer to stop the progress of corrosion until we could work on it. Now it has light surface corrosion showing up through that primer again (not in the pictures yet)
