Hey everyone,

Glad I found this website, I'm new to the classic truck scene. I have always been interested in classic vehicles, but didn't have a garage to keep it in. Finally have a garage, so I purchased a 1959 Chevy Apache fleetside last November. It is pretty much all stock and that's the way I like it. Right now I have just been enjoying driving it and learning more about it. As I stated I'm new to owning a Stovebolt, so this website is going to help me out a ton.My future plans for the truck is to fully restore it. Looking forward to learning new things and learning from others.

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

Thanks. It took me almost two years to find it. Finding trucks in Ohio that weren't rusted out and in my price range ended up being a challenge, but patience paid off.
