No gimmicks, no frills and no posturing; just strength and presence -- lots of presence. This exceptionally clean apache is a subdued stunner that mixes 235 cubic inches of thriftmaster 6-cylinder with an era-correct driveline, crisp aesthetics and a detailed, frame-off restoration. Bodywork/trim the beneficiary of a high quality, frame-off restoration, this sweet chevrolet half-ton is a fully sorted crowd gatherer that wraps classic '50s design around proven gm mechanicals. During its rejuvenation, the truck's expressive body panels were stripped, massaged into a super straight canvas and bathed in vivid blue 2-stage. Under that glowing pigment, solid panels still exhibit all the stylistic drama famously associated with detroit's golden era of motoring. Those panels feature alignment that's much better than 50-year-old factory fodder. In 1955, chevrolet's public relations gurus dubbed the brand's new truck the task force series. At its core, task force is a naval term that refers to the specific manner in which a job is accomplished. And that svelte marketing jargon can be further distilled into a stylish yet functional combination of attractive lines and purposeful attributes. At the front of this chevy, a 'valleyed' hood hangs a red-tinged chevrolet crest above modern headlights, chrome-trimmed parking lamps and a polished, chevrolet branded grille that's stretched over a wide bumper. At the back of that hood, a curved sweep-sight windshield and like-new greenhouse glass align behind polished stainless trim and fresh stainless wipers. At the sides of that windshield, floating chevrolet apache emblems lead simple door handles, correct chrome mirrors, a short antenna and a blue-tinged fuel filler. At the back of the truck, a wood bed centers a chrome-trimmed, chevrolet branded tailgate between aluminum steps, sleeved chains and billet bowtie caps. And, beneath that bed, another wide bumper reflects cool blue dot taillights opposite polished bowtie exhaust tips.
