Modified 1958 Chevrolet Apache 3100 Stepside

Description

The Chevrolet Task Force truck line, introduced for 1955, brought several key upgrades compared to the earlier Advance Design series, including the availability of V8 power, a modern 12-volt electrical system, sleeker bed sides, and more extensive use of chrome trim.

For 1958, the Task Force lineup received its most dramatic restyle. Drawing influence from Chevrolet’s passenger cars, the trucks adopted quad headlights as standard, larger parking lamps, and a refreshed grille featuring four horizontal louvers topped by a bold chrome bar stamped with “Chevrolet.” That year also marked a new naming system: light-duty trucks became “Apache,” medium-duty models were labeled “Viking,” and heavy-duty versions were called “Spartan.” Engine options included the 235ci Thriftmaster inline six and the 283ci V8.

Now finished in Pink PPG Deltron 2000 paint, this '58 Chevrolet Apache features a stepside bed with a protective hard cover. Power comes from a Chevy 327ci V8 engine paired with an automatic transmission, and thetruck features an Art Morrison 4-link rear suspension and Weld Racing wheels with Mickey Thompson tires. Inside, the replacement bucket seats feature Corvette embroidered headrests, while the dash houses Dakota Digital gauges and an Alpine stereo system.

This modified 1958 Chevrolet Apache 3100 Stepside is now offered by the selling dealer with a clean Missouri title.
