Here's a wild truck for those who like to preserve the past, but don't quite want to live in it. This 1956 Chevrolet Apache LS Restomod looks like it's been through many hard years of living and couldn't even run you around the farm, let alone cruise the highway. But looks are deceiving, and the Patina finish makes that deception work. Sure, the body is rough, but it's actually quite solid. The front grille and bumpers are in good shape, and so is the wooden bed.
Sitting on a Crown Victoria chassis, this Apache blends vintage grit with real-world drivability. It rides on 16-inch powder-coated white steel wheels and packs the upgrades needed to make this former farmhand as safe and usable as any modern truck.
Inside is where things get interesting. The cabin is an eclectic mix of character and comfort. White painted door panels with black inserts meet a brown leather 60/40 split bench. Wooden floors trimmed in black metal add custom flair, while the fully painted Turquoise-and-White dash steals the show. A black-and-white custom steering wheel sits ahead of a full Intellitronix digital gauge cluster. Vintage Air climate control keeps things comfortable, and a Power Acoustic touchscreen AM/FM/Aux Bluetooth stereo is neatly mounted between air custom vents. The long chrome shifter is easy to grab, and somehow all the "wild" works together to create a seriously fun driving experience.
Under the hood sits a 5.3-liter LS engine topped with a custom copper-and-leather engine cover. An aluminum radiator with an electric fan keeps it cool. Power is routed to a rebuilt 4L80E 4-speed automatic, through a new driveshaft, and into an 8.8-inch rear axle.
The truck has been lowered for a confident stance. Up front: control arms, coil springs, tube shocks, and sway bar. Out back: a Watts link setup with coil springs and tube shocks. Rack-and-pinion steering sharpens control, while four-wheel anti-lock power disc brakes provide confident stopping. Polished headers and dual exhaust with an aftermarket muffler give it the right tone.
