Even though pickup trucks were far more utilitarian back in the ’50s, they still had a popular following. While they may not have offered the same blend of off-road ability and on-road comfort as today’s options, trucks like the 1959 Chevrolet Apache Pickup were known for their reliability and ruggedness. Originally known as the Chevrolet Task Force series of trucks, in 1958 the company changed the names of their lineup. The light-duty series, as is featured here, adopted the “Apache” moniker, along with a redesign of the front end. Our featured truck appears to be in excellent condition for a workhorse of its age. It has a 235ci I6 engine under the hood and a manual transmission.
Compared to the previous Task Force pickups, the 1959 Apache featured a different front end, with large quad headlamps up front, an embellished hood that housed the Chevrolet bow tie logo, and a wider full-length grille that incorporates the “Chevrolet” text. Our featured car is finished in an attractive shade of turquoise, with the owner reporting that the truck was repainted a few years ago. It sits on upgraded split-rim-styled 16-inch alloy wheels in silver, along with Goodyear Assurance all-season tires. Pictured are what appear to be the truck’s original body tags. At the same time, you’ll also find plenty of the model’s original chrome fittings, as well as an impressive load tray that includes a bed floor that features wooden planks and body-colored metal strips. Move inside, and you’ll find a wonderfully “back to basics” interior. The Apache doesn’t feature AC, power steering, or power brakes. However, what it lacks in features, it makes up for in charm. The interior has been redone and features a grey-and-white color scheme for the bench seat. You get the truck’s original large-diameter metal steering wheel. However, the owner reports that an extra smaller-diameter wheel will also be included in the sale. The controls are straightforward, with a “three on the tree” column-shift manual transmission and a large V-shaped 100-mph speedometer set in front of the driver. The truck's cabin also features an AM/FM radio.
Under the hood of the 1959 Chevrolet Apache Pickup lies a 235ci I6 with a single carburetor. Power is sent to the rear wheels via a three-speed manual transmission famously named the '3-On-The-Tree'.

Chevy’s Task Force series of pickup trucks debuted in 1955, and is the predecessor of the C/K series, which subsequently morphed into the Silverado. Hence, this 1959 Chevrolet 3100 is a forefather of today’s Chevy Silverado full-size pickup trucks. Fresh off a comprehensive restoration, this example has just 15,000 miles since the build, and comes with all servicing up to date. Two keys are also included with the sale of this stunner, making it an excellent restomod to own, drive, and cherish.
The Chevy Task Force was the Bowtie’s standard pickup truck offering between 1955 and 1959. Taking over from the Advance Design series, the Task Force is the predecessor of the C/K-Series, that is now known as the Silverado. So, the series is an important one in American pickup truck history. That’s why you’ll find Task Force trucks to be excellent classic vehicles, especially if you want something out of the ordinary. If that sounds like you, we’ve got a lovely 1956 Chevrolet Truck up for sale with under 39,000 miles on the odometer. However, you’d better act fast, as vehicles like this don’t stick around for long.
