Hi all, I am looking for a new toy and would like to get a 1950's pickup. I know nothing about them and was hoping to get some advice from this board. I ran across a 59 Apache that looks interesting. Here is the sellers description:
1959 Chevy apache fleetside pickup truck, handsome royal blue with white top, interior completely repainted, has 1956 265 cu." V-8 with power pack and 4 barrel carb. Has complete NEW: braking system including master cylinder, electric wipers, single wire alternator, cam & lifters,timing chain, fuel pump, water pump, king pins, drag link, U-joints. Frame has been cleaned and sprayed with epoxy primer. The heater & defroster work, it tracks straight traveling down the highway, has attractive 6 lug chevy sport wheels and good white letter 15" tires. It is a rare option that this truck has the original 1959 am radio which is worth $300-$400. This truck was upgraded so that it would be enjoyable for driving from state to state. Enjoy driving this truck while continuing restoration. It is a daily driver truck, not a show truck.

What do you think of the truck? What would be a good price in this condition? Any help and advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
