1959 CHEVROLET APACHE PICKUP TRUCK

Here is a really nice truck that has had a lot of money spent on it to be a pretty impressive driver considering it’s over 50 years old. Powered by a 350 small block ex Police car engine that was rebuilt. It has a Demon 750 CFM carb with dual plane alluminium intake, MSD ignition and billet distributor and a roller camshaft.
