This is my Apache, I bought it at a car show in my city.

Its a 4 speed with a 235 straight six not sure on mileage. Was a city truck from Cando, ND. The gentleman I bought it from did really a lot of work on it himself. I'll have interior pictures up soon! It was a specialty order vehicle unavailable for public purchase, I bought it because it caught my eye the moment I saw it. New gauges and super clean aftermarket interior. Has heat, fan air and on/off switches all functioning. Throttle/cruise control, manual choke, cigarette lighter all work. I've had it for a week and it still hasn't sunk in that it's mine. The rims on it are H2 rims with Baja Champion rubber.

I'm not too passionate about hotrodding it any more than leaving it stock. The straight 6 keeps my gas mileage decent and I don't need any reason to drive fast and draw and more attention drive.
If my dreams came true I'd put a built up 383 in it and see what I could do about getting it 4x4. It's geared at 3.73 at the rear end so my first is just a granny gear.

It's got really almost no rust, I bought this for my winter driver because I ride a motorcycle for my work commute. The only immediate work that needs to be done as far as I've been told is to get the rust touched up and have it painted. Currently I'm thinking white with black trim/accents but who knows.

Thanks for giving it a look, I hope you all enjoy it!

It sure is hard if not impossible to come across crewcabs as nice as that where you get a chance to buy them. Nice truck!

I'd rather walk and carry a Chevy hub cap than ride in a Ferd.

Wowww!! Nice truck!! The few early crew-cabs that I've seen,were fleet-sides,with 8' boxes! A lot of truck to maneuver into parking spots. Your truck HAS to be rare,considering the 6' step-side box. Yeah,it would be COOL,set-up with a transfer-case/front differential.But,then again,I think it's COOL,just the way it is !! Keep us posted! Thanks! Keep-On-Truckin'!

It takes an awful big dog to weigh a ton.

Very nice truck! As someone else said, it's hard to find a crewcab in that nice of shape for sale. Best of luck with your project.
