This 1961 Chevrolet Apache Restomod sports a Smoke Gray Metallic finish that contrasts sharply with its black roof. Chrome accents adorn the bumpers, grille, mirrors, and door handles, enhancing the truck's classic profile. The 20-inch wheels feature smooth center caps, wrapped in 245/45R20 tires up front and 265/50R20 in the rear. A freshly installed wood kit lines the bed, while subtly tinted glass and new seals complete the exterior updates. This Apache combines vintage aesthetics with modern enhancements for a unique street presence.
Inside, black vinyl covers the reupholstered bench seat, offering comfort for long drives. Fresh carpeting extends from the floor to the kick panels, creating a cohesive look. The dashboard houses Dolphin gauges for clear readouts of essential information. A retro-style radio with Bluetooth capability provides modern audio options, while an under-dash AC unit maintains a comfortable cabin temperature. New armrests, handles, and door seals round out the interior upgrades, blending classic style with current amenities.
The 5.3L V8 Vortec engine, transplanted from a more recent vehicle, powers this Apache. The engine compartment showcases a clean installation with added headers for improved exhaust flow. A custom-fabricated air intake system feeds the V8, while an aluminum radiator with dual electric fans manages engine temperatures effectively. Power transfers through a 4L60 4-speed automatic transmission to a 9-bolt Borg Warner posi-traction rear end with 3.27 gears. The upgraded suspension features coil springs and shocks at all four corners, with a rear sway bar for enhanced handling. Four-wheel power disc brakes provide reliable stopping power. A Flowmaster dual exhaust system completes the performance package, delivering a muscular sound.
