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!

GM plans to restart production in Mexico on May 20

Mon, May 18 2020

MEXICO CITY — General Motors is tentatively planning to restart operations at its auto assembly plant in the Mexican city of Silao on May 20, according to a message to workers seen by Reuters on Sunday, as the car industry prepares to exit the coronavirus lockdown. Separately, the president of GM's Mexican unit advised suppliers to prepare to resume operations. “We are now beginning a new phase given the Mexican governmentÂ’s official announcement earlier this week to consider the transportation manufacturing industry as essential for the countryÂ’s economy,” Francisco Garza, president ofGeneral Motors de Mexico, wrote in an email to suppliers dated on Friday that was viewed by Reuters. The reopening of the plant  in Silao would be a positive signal for the auto sector in North America, whose supply lines are highly interconnected between the United States, Mexico and Canada. The plant in the central state of Guanajuato has been idled for weeks due to the coronavirus outbreak. Workers had previously been told to plan to return to their jobs on May 18. A GM spokeswoman said the company could not confirm when it would restart operations at any of its facilities in Mexico because it is awaiting more guidance from the government. The message to the plant's workers came after the government on Friday clarified when the industry could begin easing restrictions imposed because of the health emergency. On Wednesday, the government said automakers could start going back into production from May 18. It then withdrew that advice and suggested the new start date would be June 1. Finally it indicated the sector, which forms the backbone of Mexican manufacturing, could begin operating as soon as next week if companies had the required safety measures in place. U.S. officials and its auto industry have pressed Mexico's government to get its factories open again because American operations depend heavily on parts from south of the border. However, some politicians are wary of opening too fast. Mexico registered its first case of coronavirus weeks after the United States and Canada and the toll of daily infections and deaths in the country reached new peaks over the past few days. The Silao production facility, which makes highly profitable pickup trucks for GM, is one of the biggest automotive plants in Guanajuato, a major Mexican carmaking state. Related Video:
