1959 Chevrolet Apache 3100 review from North America
"Best vehicle I have ever owned"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Original fuel pump failed after 43 years. Other than that, it's been great.
General comments?
It is a short box, step side 1/2 ton.
Rides like a tank.
Handles like a tank.
Seats are "bouncy" to make up for the leaf springs.
3 speed column shift "3 on the tree" shifts smooth.
Push button starter on the floor is cool.
Absolutely love driving this truck.
