59 chevy Apache first drive

first drive / all parts from (Classic Parts)

[@BruceBoschek]

Wow, I don't know how long it has been since I've seen anyone drive column shift! I learned to drive in my dad's '55 Chevy Bel Air with straight 6 and column shift, and graduated from high school when that truck was brand new. I always love watching your videos because you know what you are doing and do it right the first time. Whenever I do anything it is by trial and error...more often error than just trial. Thanks a lot for sharing your fine work with us.

[@ulfhdnr]

Really appreciate the fact you do more working than talking.

[@picklerix6162]

That rebuilt carb looks beautiful. Good luck. For some reason, I kept expecting to see a fuel pump in the gas tank. My neighbor had to replace the sheet metal in the floor of the old truck that he restored. His wife use to call it the Fred Flintstonemobile because it had huge holes in the floorboard.

[@ronster6656]

Man, it never ceases to amaze me how much you get accomplished in a day...and you don’t just get it done, you get it done at the highest level. Gonna be another awesome ride when you’re done!

[@TheDisorderly1]

Takes me back to the first and last time I tried to drive a column shift.. ! Glad you got it back on the road. Nice work as always.

[@sergioaguilar8178]

[@michaelheathington9546]

Love the job you do on these old chevys! Thanks for the videos,can't wait for the next one. Hope to see you put the clutch in the apache. Keep saving those chevys!

[@stantilton3339]

Getting ready to replace my gas tank on my 59; this is very helpful. Your video is very appreciated, thank you!

[@hpelisr]

Nice project, good to see that old Chevy up and going,

[@davidmurray9844]

Man I would love to find one of those. Great job thank you for sharing.

[@mustanggarland24]

Love your videos buddy there. Such a great help!

[@williamsherman1089]

The 58 and 59 had such a tough look to em, hope I can own another one before my time is up

[@19MarcoPolo71]

Thanks for bringing back memories!

[@thelmastevens6383]

beautiful truck great find

[@christinewoodruff255]

Done all this to my 56 back in1997, always liked the original seat tanks, but I'm in love with danger.

[@w.w.oklahoma6010]

By the way, I needed to hear some good picking.... so I went back in your videos to Nov. 2009 and listened to you pick "Wildwood Flower" on guitar. You and that "1979 Gibson Dove" make some FINE music. It got my day off on the right foot!!! Thanks Brother, w.w.

[@MrHevyshevy]

Always fun to drive em for the first time awesome.

[@briansawdo6787]

I like that you keep it stock. I need more legroom in mine. 6’5”. Thinking of modifying the firewall and relocating the tank.

[@adriantomlin2902]

The old 235 sounds pretty good Gib!! That is one of wish Chevrolet would have stuck with was the hydraulic clutch system that they used from 60 to 62.

[@rogercrawford8372]

I forgot what one of those sounded like. Thanks for the memory.

[@timhopper389]

Love the old straight six with three on the tree!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@gmctrk63]

One day, I will take the first ride in my 63 gmc. Good job Steve.

[@wileygailey9553]

Good ride around Gibson. That new clutch will make a big difference. Good video.

[@mauriciomay1939]

All that work in one day man you're a g!

Looks great

[@txpete296]

Can’t wait get my 58 Apache on the road, these trucks are classics

[@scdevon]

It has a soul which none of these new plastic / electronic trucks will ever have.

[@MatthewKing-yt7iw]

Hey you're doing a great job I have a 1958 Apache 38 series don't box I'm learning a lot from your videos keep up the good work

[@coulterburnett6595]

Your video are helpful thanks

[@MrFireman164]

Awesome work

[@Gibson63.]

Thanks man

[@TheMaurob1979]

nice job man

[@_Peremalfait]

From back in the day when a truck was a truck, affordable and made for farmers and workmen to haul stuff around in.

[@rogerbowen4246]

I love your truck brother I have a 1979 Chevrolet pick up it needs some love its gonna get it in time I hope to make her like she was brand new ..... I love trucks from 1950 s & 1960s &1970s some 1980s

[@rickallen6378]

Excellent.

[@Grant7]

Good job..

[@militarychevy711]

Runs like a champ, done good for a first ride.

[@Gibson63.]

I’ll have the clutch in by this week should do a lot better we’ll see

[@betamax2090]

I love the 3 on the tree had a few Ford pickups with them i miss em

[@jamescutler8055]

Solid old truck

[@davidconley3610]

Gonna make you a nice old truck!

[@ksduathlete]

You should sell some t shirts with one of your c10 builds and the catch phrase “ here we go” I’ve learned a ton from you! Thank you !

[@ericcorse]

Ther is something right about an old pickup with a straight six and 3 on the tree. Vacuum wipers aren't bad unless you want to see going uphill.

[@pennygretch]

You da best, Gibson...…..

[@dustinsirrine227]

I like that old factory GM teal green color, she's a cool old truck Gib your brother will enjoy her. She's coming along nicely Gib great work on a great old Chevy. Next summer (if I haven't sold my 63 C10 short box) I'm going to have to get up the muster (it sure sucks getting old and not have a garage to work in any more) and do the clutch/flywheel/Prs Plt/ThrBr/ not sure if any of it's ever been changed but it's definitely time Gib, I get lot's of chatter when she gets hot and slips like crazy it could be just old and oil soaked but it needs changed. Is that a NAPA Clutch Kit or ? Is it a 10" or 10 1/2" kit with that inline 6? What is nice about changing them out is there very simple for sure and I've adjusted mine out just about as far as she will go and I know it's not always the best way of doing things but it makes that old clutch last alittle longer. Thanks again for sharing with us all my friend. You and your Pops Keep On Trucking Brother👍

[@Gibson63.]

The clutch kit came from (classic Parts ) 10- 1/2’’ Thanks for watching man 👍

[@dustinsirrine227]

@@Gibson63.: okay thank you, I just received a parts magazine from them a week ago. In your opinion are there parts good quality part's ? Thank You for your help it's much appreciated Gib. Keep On Trucking Brother 👍...

[@jackman6256]

When I had old 50s trucks and ofcourse they had vacuum wipers I would put an extra vacuum tank on them yeah sure little trouble when first start but give her few extra minutes then she would be fine even work at stops ect try it see what you think work good for me

[@rl4643]

When I was a young boy my dad had a 63 Chevy it had a 327 with a 4 speed one bad pickup

[@curtisjohnston6649]

Awesome mate! Leave it how she is like the blue, yes new bed... paint them ol steelies up black and get the chrome 58 59 60 hubcaps of truckandcarshop.com will look so mint. Going well as always 👌

A thumbs up!

[@johnwunder3521]

I had a 65' GMC 1/2 ton 4 sp ,230 cid was a good truck..

[@ThePerfectSeason1972]

Question, which direction do you turn the key in to fire her up in the on position?

[@jeffl.oliverson6690]

I have wanted to ask you what epoxy Primer do you use and recommend on your builds?

[@IFreakingEatPeople]

Badass

[@SheepofTheShepherd-nu3lz]

These were always dangerous with the tank behind the seat. My 49 Dodge step side Had the tank mounted under the cab inside the frame rail mounted with brackets much safer. And that old strait 6 flathead was a charm

[@Junkboy888]

Got a questions I have not see many with the Spare Tire on the fender. Was there a different ID for that model ?? Like there is a Fleetside, step side ?

[@Gibson63.]

Don’t know to much on these 59 Apaches but I haven’t seen many myself with the spare tire on the fender

[@patrickchristie82]

You’ve gotten farther in 3 videos than I have in 6 years on mine lol

Leave this truck patina to show you can make a patina look good

[@nathanlovern5283]

I’ve read on forums that the new gas sending units have different OHM than the gauge is set for. ???

[@Gibson63.]

I think your right on that, the blue 63 and this 59 have new sending units and neither are working correctly

[@nathanlovern5283]

Gibson63 I got a digital dash for my 66. It should be ok with sending unit. My trucks cab is in baddddd shape. 30 years on a farm,years since it had moved, I think it’s a mistake sometimes. I have no money to get stuff for it

[@nathanlovern5283]

I got the digital dash last tax refund

the bed might need a little freshening up but other than that she's ready for Saturday night !

What size is your garage you're working out of?

[@Gibson63.]

16x20 garage

[@paulspangler2088]

Does that work for you? Or do you wish to have your garage a little bigger?

Paul Spangler couldn’t go to much bigger on this lot, I’ve should have went 24ft I would have had more room to walk around from and back
